7 years ago he went away.
Now a celebrated war photographer is coming home - to a different kind of battlefield.
Burdened with grief, guilt and unfinished dreams, Damien watches as his family is torn apart, as generations crumble: the old fade to dust, the young bloom just to wither. In time, he will realise that when paths alter and plans don't work out, when you get lost and stumble and fall down, it's quite alright...
Through the eyes of Maine, a young girl who shares his perspective of the world, tells the story of lives beating against the current, stretching on, drifting ceaselessly wayward.All Rights Reserved
