Hal Dawlish, the youngest son of a celebrated writer, has spent over a decade building a life away from his father's literary shadow in northern England. However, in spring 1984, his routine is disrupted by unexpected repercussions from his job and unsettling revelations about his past. As he grapples with these challenges, Hal must confront his identity and the legacy of his father's fame. The narrative explores themes of familial pressure, personal growth, and the complexities of stepping into a legacy one has long rejected.
