An ordinary Monday, at an ordinary bank, in an ordinary town. There was no way of knowing what was about to happen.
Afterwards…..
The first thing Martha thinks about is having a drink. There are six reasons why she shouldn’t; she wrote them down over a year ago. Two of the reasons are the same. A name. Of someone she didn’t think she’d ever see again.
Roman, a fourteen-year-old Polish immigrant, is on the run. From the police. From Jimmy and his gang. He understands now what it means to be caught between a rock and a hard place.
Tobias, old and alone, lies in a hospital bed in Dublin where the memories of Dresden are insistent visitors.
And for Cillian, a police detective, the past is like a current, pulling him back, reminding him of all he’d had. All he’s lost.
Each of the four is running from the moments that brought them here. To a place where the past cannot be undone and the future cannot be known.
A place called now.
