This is the 90’s, and 3 young men, seemingly different, form a corner of the social structure of the local High school.Ollie’s 20, finding it’s not easy being a socialist in a capitalist system. Café’s, clothes, a decent ride and the latest records can be a bit of stretch when your paying through the nose for the right to a college education. They say problems are also opportunities. And in this day’n age, y’gotta take risks get ahead.Kings of the Springs, sarn Rule the school, thas righ, 98’. Bellee’dat! Gonna be 2Bronx’s year, last year of school, him’n the boys Waiting for this for ages. But Any-G, bro – thinks he’s black, don’t care how long we been boys, if he’s gonna be talking shit all the time, making trouble for the rest of us, making us look like we’re all shit, then fuck . . . Pascoe is turning fifteen this year. But he’s had a few problems at school. Nothing serious, jiss y’know a few problems with the other kids, but that’s okay, cuos now he’s starting at Springs tomorrow, like a fresh start.  Still kinda nervous though . . .This is the 90’s: Hip-Hop, House, Drum’n Bass, Grunge’n Metal; Pissed, stoned, wasted, twisted’n fucked up; Scenes, clicks, clubs, cafés, flats, parties, parks and streets. Either you’re cool or you’re not, pretty much. Either you know or you don’t. So who’s the baddest?This is the 90’s. This is Evil Robot.
