Summary
When Johno comes out of prison, he resolves never to go back again. But his new life is not easy, especially as he soon finds himself in sole charge of his strange young son, Danny. Danny isn't the kind of son he would have chosen, but, in caring for the boy, Johno finds new meaning and new direction.
But what do you do when the world you've so carefully built comes crashing down? Can you ever escape your past?
This is a return to the world of criminals and violence that Alan Duff has written about so effectively in the past, but it is also a touching exploration of the relationship between father and son.

'This is a superb novel. It deals with the real questions in life. If Duffy ever went away, this novel proves he is back.' (Dorothy Alexander, Manawatu Standard)
