Curt insists that Troy owes him lunch for saving his life, and because he’s the Curt McRae, amazing guitarist and friend of Troy’s favourite band, Troy can’t say no. Whilst he is trying to decide whether people would laugh if a fat kid jumped in front of a train, he is interrupted by a skinny punk boy who turns out to be Curt McRae, a school legend who hasn’t been seen for months. Aged seventeen, Troy has decided to kill himself, but he wants to do it with dignity. Troy is convinced that he is worthless, and all that he is is a joke to other people. He can no longer find much that he has in common with his ex-Marine Father, and his sports obsessed younger brother Dayle hates him. Ever since his mother passed away, Troy has been putting on weight. ![]()
