Brighton, 2016. Laurie wears the scar given to her by a
policeman’s baton as a mark of pride among her circle of bright
young activists. Her conscionable but sensitive brother George
should be a part of that circle, until the appearance of enigmatic
Spanish migrant Antonio threatens to divert him from his sister’s
world of marches and moral accountability. As the clouds gather
over Brighton and the EU referendum accelerates both Laurie’s
political zeal and Antonio’s ambiguous desires, George is faced
with the fact that their city of parties and protests is suddenly a
place where the possibility of saving the world – as well as the
people around him – is in jeopardy of being lost forever. At once
a letter of support to everyone disillusioned by British politics,
and a deeply perceptive snapshot of modern relationships, A Bad
Decade for Good People is a captivating state-of-the-nation tale
that begs the question: when it feels like the world is falling
apart, how do you keep those you love from doing the same?
