About this book

Welcome to Jamaica, have a nice breakdown . . . A group of 6 friends converge on the fabled island of Jamaica to compete in a marathon relay swim across treacherous water. Most have known each other since school, scions of wealth, breeding and privilege and members of the upper echelon of supposedly classless Sydney. The odd man out is new money Jeremy Hutchison (Hut), who's tolerated by the group because of the fortune he's made, but never really accepted. It is a group of people on the edge of crisis, none more so than Hut, who is guarding a terrible truth. Compulsive reading from an unflinching observer of fallibility, hypocrisy and thwarted ambition.
