He can't get enough money or sex, and his acrobatic pigeons seem to be all that's left in the world to give him pride and joy. Evie Cutler is equally bored, her years of motherhood redundant, her job in the chip shop boring, her marriage stagnant. When Stan is unexpectedly double crossed, and Evie takes an unexpected long weekend in Amsterdam, their lives change direction, radically. Stan seeks revenge through plotting the perfect crime, while Evie begins to live life with adventure, each finding excitement and hope, neither confiding in the other. Set against the background of recession, and shuttling between the highly contrasting cities of Middlesbrough and Amsterdam, Stan and Evie's secret selves head relentlessly towards an intriguing climax.
