Synopsis

Synopsis - ‘Things happen when Greg is around...all kinds of things get broken, yet you can’t really say he’s destructive because you never see him break anything. Other kids are getting hurt or getting into trouble all the time, yet you can’t put your finger on just what it is he does....It’s as if he spends all his energy being furious with the world; anger is the only consistent thing he’s ever hand and he’ll hold on to it with a vengeance.’
