‘Very funny’ Guardian
‘Inkwell black and surprisingly tender’ ADAM KAY
‘Outrageous’ MARINA HYDE
‘A blockbusting explosion of toxic masculinity’ Spectator
In a busy maternity ward, first-time father Dan meets Jada, a dad welcoming his fifth – no, sixth? – child into the world. But Dan and Jada come from very different places: both called Glasgow. Dan is a successful TV writer with a townhouse in the West End and a shiny Tesla ready to drive his wife and baby home. Jada is a hustling, small-time criminal who is already planning how to separate Dan from some of the luxuries Jada has never been able to enjoy in his tiny flat in a Brutalist sixties council block.
When a tragedy occurs, Dan and Jada’s worlds are brought closer than either could ever have imagined – close enough that it could mean destruction for both of them . . .
