Book Synopsis

On a quiet suburban street in Dublin, a piece of graffiti tears apart a group of neighbours, exposing a deep divide between them.

In one long scene over one night, six people must confront their pride, privilege and prejudice. Who will concede power and how will they move forward?

Power will be undone. It won't be pretty. But it could be beautiful.
