This is a true story about gangs and knife crime. The words are verbatim. The play is set in a court room and the audience are the jury.

The decision the audience have to make is whether Amy is guilty and therefore a perpetrator, or a victim. With a chance to ask the characters questions, and improvised responses in a forum theatre style, the audience can determine how choices could have been made differently: how, if Amy had made different choice, the outcome could have been very different.
