Summary:
Dean is trapped in a working class suburb with an abusive father and a doormat mother whose job at a London restaurant allows her to regale her son with stories of her famous customers. Dean decides to runaway from home and assumes the identity of Alex Gryffoyn, the son of Lady Gryffoyn who owns a posh gallery. Soon he finds himself in the world of sex, cocaine, and disco upper class, funding his new life through credit card fraud. But Dean eventually learns that reinventing oneself comes at a price.
