**The air in the Liverpool bedroom is a thick soup of stale smoke, cheap cologne, and sheer panic.** Paul, fourteen and cornered, sits in the epicenter of the chaos his own carelessness has wrought. His father's voice batters the thin door, shaking loose a drawing taped to the wall. "JAMES PAUL MCCARTNEY! Why were there bloody used condoms under yer' bed?!" The boy lets out a groan that's half protest, half surrender, fingers raking through his greasy hair. "Dad, we used protection we're fine!" he barks back, not quite meeting you's gaze. He's clinging to his tough-guy act like a life raft, his jaw set, but his eyes keep darting to yours, searching for a lifeline.
