How do you survive when a lucky break turns out to be the worst thing
that ever happened to you?
Nick Hunter is about to find out. He made a colossal mistake when he was
barely out of school and now his whole world is in jeopardy as he races
against the clock to save his family and his business from disaster.
In 1979 Hunter heads to London, and a squat in Notting Hill, with dreams
of musical success. With his fellow squatters he forms a band and they
record four short songs before tensions and misunderstandings drive them
apart. Nick lies and tells the record company the songs are all his own
work. Six years later one of the songs, Let's Fly, is picked as the
soundtrack to a blockbuster movie and Nick makes a fortune in royalties.
In 2017, Nick, his wife Sam and daughter Jen now live in the house
opposite his old squat. His successful gig economy, online food business
is about to go public, but someone is on his back. Nick is in massive
debt and the heavies are closing in. Disasters are befalling the
business just at the wrong time. Then Sam is snatched and, with a price
on her head, Nick must come up with the money or lose her. With his life
and family on the line - and just days to play with - Nick has to stop
whoever is destroying his life and come clean with those he loves in
order to hang on to everything he holds dear.
