Joe Scofield

A Dark Past Joe Scofield

Set in the modern day city of Bath, a teenage drama with a historical theme. When Todd Webster moves from a country village to a city suburb called Twerton, he has to adjust to a different community and a new school. It doesn't help that a school bully and his gang are out to test whether Todd can stand up for himself. Twerton once had a massive factory. Now there are plans to build a monument in honour of the family who ran that factory and kept its fearsome machines turning. But the more Todd sees of the factory's past, the more he is led to question this idea. With help from his new friend Hayley, he gets into ever deepening trouble, as he brings other teenagers to challenge the adult world and make them think again.
