China Running Dog

A young man in his early twenties has two basic needs: mates and respect. And a third of course. That's a given and it was there for the taking in Shanghai in the year 2000, a greed-crazed free-for-all in a moral and lawless vacuum created by the Chinese Communist Party.

Johnny Trent, small-time entrepreneur from Basildon in the UK, has neither mates nor respect. That's why he went to China, where he meets Felix Fawcett-Smith, fresh off the boat and from the other side of the tracks. An unlikely friendship begins.
