Teaching alongside Dean, a prisoner in for more than drugs and less than murder, Kate Dulson thinks she’s got it all under control. Exams, creative writing classes, even an unseen reading group in the segregation unit. But then she gets the news that her father has been found dead, everything starts to unravel.
A wing burns down. There’s another riot. Hostage taking. Blood on floors and shit on walls. Prisoners disappear in the half light. Everyone has lost something, someone. Stuck on pause. Ghosted from everyone, including themselves.
The one constant is Dean. A man covered in glitter paint who seems to be able to be everywhere and nowhere. Grief spun, Kate begins to understand what Dean means by the ‘glimpses of darkness’.
Will their unspoken friendship be enough to get them both through?
