Liam, a fallen angel with a bad track record, has arrived in
America through the back door, an illegal immigrant stuck with the
worst kind of job and a reputation for trouble. Forced on the run,
he links up with another fallen star, a beautiful, pregnant girl
called Angel. Hampered, yet spurred on, by Angel's lowlife
boyfriend, Liam finds the wide open spaces bring him a freedom not
advertised by the immigration brokers back home ' and the chance to
run towards the life he had always dreamed of. Michael Collins
writes with his characteristic rawness and anger about the Irish in
80s America. He brings a new poignancy to our understanding of the
emigrant experience and of the loneliness of not belonging.
