My Dad Is Definitely
NOT a CRIME LORD
Damian’s new friend wants him to be a hero. But what does that really mean?
Damian’s family are living under witness protection now that his dad, a once powerful gangster, has turned Queen’s evidence.
They’ve been moved to a cramped flat in a run-down council estate, and they’ve all had to take on new names. Then Damian - sorry, Finn - meets costumed superhero Star Kid, who wants Finn to join his mission to keep the estate safe from criminals.
Soon Finn is forced to ask himself: Who is he, really?
