After 23 years two alienated brothers are reunited in the stinking kitchen of a rotting apartment. Bob is a sociopathic slob, facing jail for throwing a man out of a car; Jack seems successful and self-disciplined but nurses his own considerable demons. Together they piece together a dark shared history, which includes the disappearance of their father when they were young.

John Kolvenbach's debut is a darkly humorous tale with echoes of Sam Shepard and David Mamet, about the nature of redemption, and the extraordinary things that can happen during the course of an average day.

"Kolvenbach's writing combines humour, sadness and the possibility of redemption in a manner that is all his own. We'll be hearing more of him" Daily Telegraph
