Hidden away in every city and town, countless thousands of old women and men live out their final years. Friendships form, and just occasionally, physical attraction strikes, just as it does everywhere else.
Laurie is invited to a school reunion, driving five hours to his childhood village to meet people he has not seen for forty years. A homage to Laurie Lee's eponymous book, where the real Slad becomes a fictitious Crawedon. When life is ruptured and swings in a new direction, can one ever go back?
