From Guernsey to California, interconnected stories tie into a globe-spanning meditation on the beauty and pain of human life. In Guernsey, a teenager discovers a secret and finds his betrayal has the power to ruin adult lives. In London, a marriage shot through with infidelity leads to a quest for revenge. In California, as wildfires threaten landscapes and lives, a young veteran struggles with the trauma of war, seeking solace at a local ranch. A cast of characters grapple with betrayal, the loss of innocence, and the lies we tell. Ben Hinshaw explores what it means to grow up, to be a teenager playing at adulthood and an adult playing games.
