A life-affirming debut novel from one of Britain's most-loved comedians, Kevin Bridges - exploring dysfunctional friendships, family, and how to face your problems head-on.

Declan Dolan

has always wanted to be a writer, turning the ideas that spiral in his head into stories on the page. He longs to emulate his hometown hero, renowned writer and actor, James Cavani.

Though their lives couldn't be more different, they have a lot more in common than they think.

With his pet labrador, Hector, and his best friend-turned-mentor, Doof Doof, by his side, Declan sets out to escape his world of binge-drinking, supermarket shelf-stacking, and small-time gangsters.

Meanwhile, Cavani finds himself drawn back into this world that he thought he had already escaped.

Could it be that fate has a way of bringing two people together when they need it the most?
