Never go back . . .
Jack had escaped from it all once - that house, that place, that life. And his parents.
As a troubled teenager - trying to move on from a childhood marred by humiliation and abuse - he left home and settled in another city, put together a new life and became a different person.
But when a disturbing incident changes everything, he begins to unravel, which leads to a move abroad followed by a return to his childhood home.
Moving back into that claustrophobic house full of unwanted memories - with his manipulative, controlling mother, and too many reminders of his belittling father - wasn't supposed to be for long, but as the past catches up with him, his life stalls and he finds himself stranded in the last place he wanted to be.
