"Life couldn't be better for Lucinda Purefoy. She's got a steady boyfriend, a degree in social sciences from Manchester University, and the offer of a high-powered job in advertising. With all this good fortune, isn't it appropriate for her to give something back to society? With her newly minted membership in Social Carers, Reformers, and Praeceptors (SCRAP for short), an organization that recruits women to become the guides, philosophers, and friends to ex-convicts coming out of prison, Lucy finds herself standing outside the gates of Wormwood Scrubs waiting to greet a career burglar called Terry Keegan. What happens next--after a short and hostile trip to Burger King--confounds expectations."@en

"Lucinda Purefoy, works in advertising. She volunteers for an organisation called SCRAP, Social Carers, Reformers and Praeceptors, who help former prisoners readjust to society, and hopefully avoid recidivism. She meets Terry Keegan, who has completed a 4 year stint in Her Majesty's prisons for break and enter offences. They fall in love, and Lucinda tries her hand at some petty larceny. Should Terry try to stop Lucinda, or encourage her to steal larger amounts from bigger targets?"
