When Mark Darling is fifteen years old, he is the golden boy,
captain of the school football team, admired by all who know him.
Until he kills his best friend in a freak accident. He spends the
next decade drifting between the therapy couch and dead-end
pursuits. Then along comes Sadie. A mender by nature, she tries her
best to fix him, and has enough energy to carry them both through
the next few years. One evening, Mark bumps into an old
schoolfriend, Ruby. She saw the accident first hand. He is pulled
towards her by a force stronger than logic: the universal need to
reconcile one's childhood wounds. This is his chance to, once
again, feel the enveloping warmth of unconditional love. But can he
leave behind the woman who rescued him from the pit of despair, the
wife he loves? His unborn child? This is a story about how
childhood experience can profoundly impact how we behave as adults.
It's a story about betrayal, infidelity and how we often blinker
ourselves to see a version of the truth that is more palatable to
us.
