Ed
All my life I've been moving about, one dirty town after another. I've tried hard to go straight, and this time I thought I'd got it, thought things would work out for a change. I didn't reckon on Tony Rossi and his gang... . Why did I have to get myself involved with such low-life again?

And then I saw her, and my life would never be the same again. I knew I wanted her there and then, even though I knew I was committing a crime against her. That's the moment I knew it all had to change, that I had to change if I was ever going to deserve a woman like Janine.

Her dad, on the other hand, has different plans for his daughter's future, plans that don't involve me.

Times running out to save her, but I have no job, no money... no hope. Even if I did, what happens when the past catches up to me and she finds out all about me? It's bound to happen... I can't build a relationship on a web of lies. Can she ever love a man like me?

Janine
I'm scared, scared as hell of a future that dad has already planned for me, but what can I do? When I meet Ed, I wish things could be different, he's everything I want in a man... even if he is older than me. He's strong and handsome, and someone to protect me from men like Tony Rossi... but it all seems so hopeless.

I hate Tony Rossi with a passion, I hate any form of violence, and could never love a man like him... a bully and a small-time gangster.

I felt a strong attachment to Ed from our first meeting... maybe it's love at first sight, I don't know... but I know nothing about him. With my dad forever watching me, how will I ever meet up with Ed to find out?

They say that love will find a way, but I don't see how. Can Ed save me? Is he the one?
