Stone cold is a story with 2 main characters, what we follow these 2 persons are 2 completely different persons. We get to different perspective about homeless people, because of these two main characters. First off all, we have Link:

Link had a good life, until his mother gets a new boyfriend called Vince. He is embarrassed of being homeless in his own town, because his old classmates sees him being homeless.

Link therefore ran away to London. In London, he meets a homeless guy called Ginger. Ginger learn Link how to survive as a homeless guy.
