Peaches for Mad Molly.
The protagonist lives, alongside others of the underclass, on the outsides of skyscrapers, whose bases are flooded by the rising sea. The rich folk live inside the towers; the richer, the higher the floor away from the floods.
The protagonist decides to climb the tower, leaving the safety of his 'patch' of wall to ascend through the dangers of other gang vertical territories in an attempt to steal peaches - fresh peaches from a high balcony.
