Pain and rage engulf Niall when he returns to Derry after years of living on the continent. He doesn't attend his father's funeral, much to brother Michael's disgust, and it isn't long until Michael throws him out after the police dump Niall at the door after one of his hostile drunken binges. Niall's world--Northern Ireland in the early 1990s, just after the first IRA ceasefire ended--is dark, disordered, and despairing.
