The coming winter was going to be a hard oneand not because of the weather.
As England descends into economic chaos, sixteen-year-old Barry Mortimer's life turns upside-down when, without warning, his father moves the family from their cozy home in the city to a grim brick mansion on the outskirts of town. Strange and mysterious events follow.
Why does Father evict their friend and long-time lodger? Why isn't anyone allowed to visit the Mortimers' new home? What is Father doing in the basement and why is he keeping it a secret?
As rumors of skyrocketing prices and food shortages become reality, Barry's world begins to crumble. Can his family hold together as a nation collapses around them?
Terrifying because it could happen tomorrow]]
