THE PROLETARIANs.
BY AARON DOUGLAS
“When the world sees you as the underclass, how much lower can you truly sink?”
After a seemingly simple heist goes horrifically wrong, Taz and Neil are left contemplating their place in society, armed with bitterness and £8k, their attempts to clean up turns farcical and grisly.
