Liverpool, 1989–2009, twenty years after the football tragedy that shook Britain. The city is growing fast, and the teenagers of those days, Casey, Andy, Jessica, John, have grown up, changed their habits, settled into quiet routines, families and steady jobs. All of them? Not all. The central character, owner of a photo shop that barely survives, is forced to go back in his mind to the time when walls fell or stood firm, and face the ghosts of the past. A novel about what it sometimes means to be a survivor: struggling to move on, lying down exhausted at night, and realising every morning that you have not moved a step.
