Summary

Behnam tells the story of his brother, who was hired to live in a house in Mansfield and tend a cannabis grow in the loft. The house was raided by Pakistani criminals with guns who stole the plants. His brother's Lithuanian employers later staged a revenge attack but also threatened the brother with a gun when he wanted to quit. The brother ran away and now lives in Greyhound, working in a factory. Behnam reflects on how young people get their lives ruined by gangs, and mentions that even good families can be affected.
