Sex, drugs, and greed fuel this literary exploration of London’s criminal underbelly and the brutality that it hides behind every dark corner.

In the decadent streets of 1980s London, a colorful group of misfits struggles their way out of the drug and crime-infested lives they were born into. Vowing to turn his life around for the sake of his bulimic and drug-addicted girlfriend, Angie, Iggy turns to his alcoholic and abusive mother, who offers him a job with an old acquaintance for a lot of money and very few questions.

Iggy and his unforgettable collection of friends – Andy, Tomy, Smiley, Nicole, and Angie – are bound to become one of modern literature’s most iconic groups as they desperately search for salvation in London’s dark reality of poverty and prostitution, hope and greed, sobriety, and intoxication.

Akin to the works of Selby, Ellis, and Welsh, Dopehead is an authentic, relentless, gripping portrait of a society that failed an entire generation – a different reality of bad choices and endless pursuit of freedom that lies just outside the suburban norm.
