Summary |
Following the death of his mother, seventeen year - old Joshua 'J' Cody moves in with his hitherto-estranged family, under the watchful eye of his doting grandmother, Janine 'Smurf' Cody, and her three criminal sons - the Cody boys. 'J' finds himself at the centre of a cold blooded revenge plot that turns his family upside down and which throws him directly into the path of senior homicide detective, Nathan Leckie. This a powerful crime drama exploring the tense battle between a criminal family and the police, and the ordinary lives caught in the middle. |
