                                                                         Outline


Jamie Cramer is thirteen years-old, and lives on the thirteenth floor of Maycliff Towers in the dying English industrial town of Jaston.  Jaston is a decaying, filthy, hopeless place, founded upon a metal industry that saw its best years a long time ago.  The people are despondent, violence and crime is everywhere, and Jamie’s alcoholic mother, Shauna, has resented her son from birth.   They barely survive on her welfare allowance, and his future is unsure. No, his future is bleak.

Then one night, under a particularly bright moon, Jamie can’t sleep and walks into the kitchen.  A moment later, he discovers he is floating a few inches off the filthy linoleum.

As his astonishing ability progresses, his life seems to correspondingly degenerate, his relationship with his mother deteriorating until things reach a crisis point.  

Only then does hope of a kind appear in the form of two warm-hearted people who wish to adopt him.   Things finally seem to be turning a corner, and his future, once hopeless, now begins to look dangerously positive.

The one thing he must not do, is let anybody find out he can fly.
 
For in these hysterical times, the consequences would surely be disastrous…
