Mark Smithson, an author widely celebrated for his first novel, is suffering from writer's block. After a desperate episode he and his wife Sarah move to the countryside for a fresh start. Reinvograted, Mark finds a fresh subject for his second book. But when aspects of his story begin to materialise in real life, his newfound creativity soon starts to overwhelm him. Sarah can see the toll the project is taking on her husband, but - despite repeated efforts - can't find a way to connect with him. RIBBLEHEAD asks: how close to the edge will we push ourselves to get what we want? And what would we do if we suddenly found we couldn't get back?
