It''s an exciting day for Timothy Flowers. It''s the third of November, and it''s Friday, and it''s his twenty-first birthday. When Timothy walks to his usual street corner to see his favourite special bus, he meets Charlie. Charlie is a builder who is desperate for Timothy''s help because Timothy is very tall, six feet six inches. Timothy has never had a job before - or no work that he''s kept for more than a day. But when Timothy and Charlie have to collect money from a local thug, things don''t exactly go according to plan... Over the course of one day, Timothy''s life will change for ever.
