However, things aren’t good between Isaac’s mum and dad and matters soon get worse. When the boys discover a marijuana patch growing in the bush, Isaac is convinced his father is involved. Although he disapproves of his dad smoking dope, Isaac wants to be sure his father isn’t behind the cultivation they’ve found before he and George go to the police.
But the longer they take to uncover the truth the more people are likely to get hurt; pretty soon Isaac finds himself the target in a powerful struggle for control of the dope.
