Life is truly flourishing for reformed standup Hayden McGlynn. Currently residing in the luxurious Kentish Town of London, he enjoys a rent-free lifestyle. His soon-to-be new agent is undoubtedly the most sought-after in the industry, and the rights to his autobiographical screenplay, set in his native Dublin, have been eagerly acquired. The future appears to be brimming with wealth and success. Hayden McGlynn is undoubtedly the future.

However, Hayden faces a peculiar predicament. Screen Hayden is none other than Wolfe Swift, widely regarded as the greatest actor of this or any other age. As Wolfe prepares for the role, he inexplicably transforms into Hayden McGlynn! Can the world accommodate two Haydens?

Adding to his complications, Hayden has a past he'd rather forget. He has successfully committed one murder and managed to evade punishment. But what if he is mistakenly accused of a second murder? This leads to problem number three. The screenplay, being autobiographical, raises the question: Has Hayden inadvertently exposed himself?

Hewbris, a post-postmodern crime anti-thriller in the same vein as cult classic Sloot, presents a captivating narrative with five distinct levels of comedy. It introduces Hayden to six biological mothers and ultimately proves the existence of God through a hilarious joke. The author was pleasantly surprised by this unexpected revelation.

Hayden's life is a whirlwind of transformation, comedy, and unexpected twists. As he navigates the challenges and embraces his newfound fame, he must confront the consequences of his past and the unpredictable nature of his future. The road ahead is filled with uncertainty, but Hayden's resilience and wit will undoubtedly lead him to new heights of success and laughter.
