The city spread out in strips and stripes below Bruce's steel-capped boots. The sky flew away over his hard-hatted head. He was fifty storeys up, the wind chilling his teeth. In his pocket he had money. Friday was payday. Bruce's life is finally on track. He's got a place to live and a job he likes, working on a high-rise building site in the middle of Melbourne. Then he meets Troy. And as his carefully constructed life starts to fall apart, Bruce finds himself falling forward, once again lost and out of control. A compelling, engaging novel of friendship and belonging from the best-selling, award-winning author of Boys of Blood and Bone.
