Synopsis

Every kid in the secondaary school is trying to earn extra money, but whether they work in the factory, deliver papers, or what, they must give 10% of their earnings to Push, the school protection racket. Everyone knows Push is run by the Flitcrofts- Charles and Mavis - but no one can prove it. The kids band together to form Pull and refuse to pay - this might have worked but Flitcroft is about to settle a very big deal and can't let a bunch of kids ruin it. He calls in his heavies and severalkids are beaten up. Pull get wind of Flitcroft's deal - dodgy videos involving children - they infiltrate a party and manage to escape with enough evidence for Flitcroft to be arrested.
