A conflict carefully unspooled

James Dwyer is a Munster-man who has emigrated from Ireland to make a home for himself in the sleepy college town of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Kevin Lyons was a troublesome schoolmate who now also lives in the US. Yet where James has not just put the past behind him but eschewed it entirely in favour of a new life, Kevin is determined to reconnect with their childhood. Which would be fine except that he needs James’s help do so.
