In Cardiff, Wales, in the 90s, eight stories unfold in different nocturnal settings, marked by drugs, prostitution, and crime. The work features characters such as a shady businessman, a lesbian prostitute and her girlfriend, an abused woman, and an ex-convict seeking redemption. John Williams humorously dignifies the lives of these 'anti-heroes,' creating colorful portraits of gray and hopeless existences. This book is an example of the new British realism, revealing a writer comparable to Irvine Welsh or Magnus Mills.
