How did Bucky get here? A series of accidents. A tragic love for a violent man. An addiction to painkillers he can't seem to kick. An unlikely friendship with an ageing patient. Drugs, memories and the objects of his desire are colluding against Bucky. And when it hits him. Bam. A ton of bricks. The shadowy places of Western Sydney can be lit up with the hope of love, but no streetlight can illuminate like obsession. This is a novel of addiction, secrets and misplaced love.
