Synopsis:
Winner of the George Devine Award
Winner of the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature.
A white-knuckle ride through a nightmare Dublin, where enemies and allies are interchangeable.
First we meet Howie. He tells us how, one night, he gets caught up in a gang intent on beating up Rookie. He's supposed to be baby-sitting his five-year-old brother, but he goes just the same. They beat up Rookie. Howie returns to discover a horrible accident has happened to the little boy. Then we hear the story from Rookie's point of view...
