Summary
Run, Charlie, Run!
It’s 1919, and Richmond Football Club reigns supreme. Cream buns cost a mere threepence, and four ambitious boys are vying for the most sought-after job in town.
Charlie strikes gold, landing the coveted role of messenger for Squizzy Taylor, Melbourne’s notorious gangster. But the stakes quickly escalate, and the heat becomes unbearable. Charlie faces a life-altering decision: take the money and run, or face the wrath of Squizzy Taylor.
