Eight-year-old TC skips school to explore the citys overgrown, forgotten corners. Sophia, seventy-eight, watches with concern as he slips past her window, through the little park she loves. Shes writing to her granddaughter, Daisy, whose privileged upbringing means she exists in a different world from TC though the two children live less than a mile apart. Jozef spends his days doing house clearances, his nights working in a takeaway. He cant forget the farm he left behind in Poland, its woods and fields still a part of him, although he is a thousand miles away. When he meets TC he finds a kindred spirit: both lonely, both looking for something, both lost.
