Tormented by the memory of his beloved (and long-gone) Hetty Griggs who left him with her bastard child, Tom ‘the tinker’ Bosch gets stuck in his own story. Like all who dwell in the comically miserable town of Brood, he and the young child can’t find a way beyond the Brood’s borders. Until one day, a mysterious stranger appears… and disappears. Drenched in humor and heartache, Glen Berger’s comic tale invokes a world full of dreamers, schemers and would-be lovers.

A comic Scottish tale that speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever loved and lost.
