FLY

by Douglas, Katie

Sammy has returned home to the small town he grew up in to find that little has changed in the years he’s been away. His sister Louise has married his best friend Frank, but in Sammy’s absence their marriage has spiralled into a cycle of resentment, accusation and recriminations. Frank was and still is a bully whose inability to articulate leads to frustration and violent anger and he takes his solace from the bookies, the drinking and from fishing on the riverbank he dearly loves. But Frank’s got a secret, which Sammy stumbles upon and he’s forced to decide whether to tell Louise, as it’s a secret that will undoubtedly change all of their lives forever.
