Many of the characters in Martyn Bedford's stories find themselves at a point of redefinition, trading in their old identity for something new. Whether it is an act of retreat or escape - fantasising about storming out of a thankless job, or just avoiding a bad-tempered husband for a few moments on Christmas day - they each understand the first step in changing a reality, is to reconstruct it.
A fugitive turns up at a young widow's door. Finn is a draft dodger. Afraid of dying and opposed to the war, he could see no way out until a stranger slipped him a calling card for an anti-draft network. Now on the run, he has the promise of a new identity and a new life, but if he is caught, the punishment will be brutal.
