It is Friday and Chris is trying to meet up with what might be the girl of his dreams - Keeley, but on his way to meet her he is beaten up in a revenge attack. Romance has to be put on hold as his older brother David plots retribution as a last ditch attempt to hold onto a hard-man reputation he feels is slipping away.

"Playing Mercy is a mighty and moving hymn to belonging, pride and growth. Only a man unafraid to write from within his own culture could produce, without senimentality, such a passionately-convicted work. If you feel yourself playing host to the demon of judgementalism, then read Playing Mercy. Matt Scott loves his characters and the worlds that produced them, and the rest of us should, too." - Niall Griffiths
