Graham only wants a simple life. He wants to play football with his new friend and go to matches with his grandfather.

But even that’s not so simple in a city like Glasgow where the divisions between Catholics and Protestants are brought sharply into focus every year when the Orange marches begin. And then Graham meets a young asylum seeker who badly needs help. How can he stay out of things?

An excellent story which challenges preconceptions and encourages all readers to take a real look at the complex world they live in.

A young man lies bleeding in the street in Glasgow. Graham doesn't want to be involved. He just wants to play football with his new mate, Joe.
