It's the 2030s in Ramsgate and four people who don't look quite
human are found sitting, naked, in the early spring sunlight on the
quay of a quiet south coast resort. The locals are puzzled - the
newcomers are larger and heavier than them and say they are fleeing
the heat. Soon more arrive; their tall red-haired leader, The
Professor, talks to the universe. The locals talk among themselves.
Red people appear everywhere, making friends, going into the caves,
liked by some but accused of bringing infection by others. Two
rivalrous brothers, Liam and Joe, take different sides as one joins
a notorious hard-right group. Their teacher Monica is the first to
warn there'll be trouble - and she's right, there is, but there is
also a great Midsummer Festival, laughter and love. Set in a world
in crisis, this original, gripping fable about migration and global
warming restores belief in the power of human kindness.
