Description

Arriving in Derry, years after he left for a wandering life - from city to city in Europe, from woman to woman - Niall finds the damaged city of his youth to have changed in all but character. His family too has fractured, and Niall's failure to show up at his father's funeral has encouraged a bitter response. Haunted by past and present fears that threaten to consume him, and insensate for most of the time through a cocktail of booze and drugs, Niall's dangerous relationship with Lorna threatens to push him ever closer to destruction.
