Intrepid 1: Reluctant Hero

By Rafe Gray

In post war England, fourteen-year-old Horace Gray's life is shattered when he is expelled from school for defending himself against a trusted teacher. Disbelieved and cast aside, Horace is forced into adulthood far too soon.

Guided by his formidable uncle, a hardened veteran of war, Horace begins work in a local garage, where skill, discipline and resilience become his survival tools. But injustice follows him beyond the classroom, as corruption, violence and moral compromise shape the world around him.

Based on true events, Intrepid is a powerful coming of age story about courage in the face of authority, the cost of truth, and a boy who refuses to surrender his integrity when the world turns against him.
