On the Edge is the story of an unexpected reunion between a school bully and his autistic victim.

Dan, autsistic, hard working, takes people literally, he tells a good joke.

Petal, a beautiful young woman, with ambitions to always be able to earn her own living.

Bill, left behind by his old school mates, on a never ending 'Gap Year'.

They meet as young adults in the workplace, where their past lives unravel as they both fall in love with the same person.

The issues teachers may be drawn to explore are well suited to PSE, RE, English and Drama and they include: -bullying -difference, specifically Autism -emotional intelligence (E.Q) -making career and life choices as a young person.
