Once again Jack is being chased by Mason Gee and the gang. The usual route is jumped, squeezed and trampled to evade the larger then average size 10 shoe in the back of the shoulder. It is the summer holidays and Jack is three weeks in.

Determined to escape, Jack unintentionally runs into Pop, an ex-convict freshly released from prison with no regrets. Jack has found what he was looking for, a father figure to show him what it is to be a man. Fuelled by mischief, lawlessness and longing, Jack follows Pop down the slippery path of gender expectation, leading to him witnessing as Pop wrestles with his mental health and puts a gun to his head.

But with a gun in hand, what will Pop do when he discovers Jack was in fact born a girl?
