Contemptuous of the fallible police force (Mike has already filched a police hat from an accident scene), two 11-year-old boys - the cold, manipulative Leo, and his weaker, more impressionable friend, Mike - arrange a staged knife fight outside a football stadium with the aid of a bag of stage blood and a real blade.
