Noel Gallagher is a man of order, vintage guitars, and a very specific set of boundaries. He's spent his life managing chaos, but when his daughter, Anaïs, brings her new friend Esme home to the London house, the silence he's cultivated begins to vibrate. Esme is twenty-nine, a sharp-witted Canadian ex-pat with a laugh like a low-tuned cello and a way of looking at Noel that makes him feel like an unmastered demo. He knows the math doesn't add up. He knows she's his daughter's friend. But for the first time in years, the Chief is finding it very hard to stick to the arrangement.
