An offbeat, character-driven novel that follows retired hockey enforcer Billy Purdy after a violent, steroid-tinged career. When a celebrated politician's son prepares to publish a manuscript that actually repeats work by Billy's father, Billy lets the deception stand and withdraws from his old life.

Attempting to reinvent himself, Purdy embarks on an exotic, often absurd journey toward a more cerebral identity he has little experience inhabiting. The story examines identity, isolation, and the costs of trying to belong to a world one has never fully known.

Readers drawn to literary fiction, sports-set satire, and darkly comic portraits of personal reinvention will find sharp observation and uneasy humour throughout.
