Rye Lane

Synopsis

Dom and Yas’ paths collide at the least opportune time: when Dom is ugly-crying in a toilet stall, steeling himself for an awkward meal with his ex, who cheated on him with his best friend. Nursing her own breakup wounds, freewheeling Yas decides to jump headfirst into the fray to lessen the sting as Dom’s date. What follows is a day of impulsive and joyous mayhem, as these two 20-something Londoners roam Peckham through karaoke bars and playgrounds, all the while inching toward the possibility of opening their hearts again.

Andy is the reason world-famous author Andrew, better known to readers as the famously reclusive A.N. Dyer, no longer speaks to his adult sons, Richard and Jamie, nor his ex-wife, Isabel. Now, feeling his time on Earth is running out, he summons his sons to be with him. When they arrive, he tells them something so unbelievable it couldn’t possibly be true. Or could it?
