Orangeboy is a hard-edged look at London’s teenage gang culture from the inside, as Marlon gets dragged deeper and deeper into a world he’d once sworn to have no part in. He opts to tell the truth, but his brush with the police is only the start of his problems. Under fire from both the police and his mother, Marlon is faced with the dilemma of whether to tell the truth and blacken the dead girl’s name, or whether to stay quiet about what really happened. A trip on the Ghost Train turns to tragedy when Sonya inexplicably dies and Marlon is found in possession of the drugs. That’s not the worst of Marlon’s problems that night, either. Sure enough, he quickly gets burned when he goes out for the evening with her to a fairground and Sonya hands him a packet of six Ecstasy pills. But despite their differences, he’s drawn to her like a moth to a flame. Sonya is blonde, beautiful and very cool, unlike Marlon, who has absolutely no idea what she sees in him. When that happens, Marlon’s life starts to take some very unexpected turns. Although he has every intention of keeping that promise, it becomes a lot harder when Sonya Wilson, a girl from his school, starts to take an interest in him. ![]() ![]() Sixteen-year-old Marlon Sunday has made a promise to his mum that he’ll never follow his older brother Andrew on the destructive path into the drug and gang culture that’s rife amongst London’s teens. ![]()
