   Summary

   In 1986, Greg Lestade is trying to bury his unhappy childhood in his punk persona, and a tough attitude. When his home life implodes, Greg has to face a scary new future and try to find his way towards independence. With little in the way of options, he accepts a nefarious offer from his former crush, Nick Wilkes. Only time will tell if he comes to regret his new challenge...befriending Mycroft Holmes.
