They played together\, skipped school together\, and dreamt of everything they’d do with their lives. Now they are thirty\, and only Rian has made it out of the estate and moved away to another city\, but his money doesn’t stop him clinging to a vision of the past that is quickly slipping away.\n\nOli is fading by the day\, drinking and snorting his way through the endless boredom\, while Conor has a baby on the way and a business plan he hopes will change everything. Patrick and Shiv are as in love as ever\, but even they are rocked when an old secret opens up new wounds …\n\n \n\n\n\n \nKeiran Goddard\n[caption id="attachment_10125" align="alignnone" width="169"] Photo of Keiran Goddard credit Tom Goddard[/caption]\n\nKeiran Goddard is a novelist\, poet and social commentator.
