Axel, a young street worker, stands eating fi sh‘n’chips from a greasy paper bag. Beside him is a large striped shopping bag containing all his worldly possessions. As he confi des to the audience, we learn of his friends and enemies on the street [people such as Magoo, Baby Love and his various male and female tricks]; his heroin addicted ex-girlfriend from whom he has kidnapped his asthmatic son. He and his son are on the run from the Department of Community Services and have to be ready to move at a moment’s notice – hence the bag. Even so, Axel drugs his young son each night with a mild mixture of valium and serapax in warm milk so he can prowl the streets looking for rough sex and enough money for them to survive.
But the inevitable has finally caught up and Axel is left with only one option.
