Seven Games

Synopsis

Willem Shaw's life is comfortable. The owner of a successful business, he's happily married with two children he adores. They live in a community where Willem is liked and respected. Spiritually, he's never questioned the safe beliefs he was brought up with. The only blot in his life is the local football club. The team he avidly supports has not won all season. Dispirited, clueless and with seven games to go, it is a dead-cert to disappear into the abyss of non-league football.
For Willem, this is worse than death.

But when a highly unlikely, fatal accident coincides with Willem's beloved United recording an equally unlikely win, the two ideas of death and victory merge inextricably together. He becomes convinced winning the seven games the club needs to survive can be delivered. All the god of football demands in return for each win is - sacrifice.

Willem finds himself on a slippery slope of increasingly risky, gruesome, but blackly comic murders. And he goes on a journey of dark self-discovery that confronts every certainty he holds about life, belief and the weird connection between being a fan and the ancient power of prayer.

Keva McCluskey, lead singer of UK indie band The Grams is the real deal. A genuine artist who is tortured by his own craft and his past. Keva is smacked with injustice when their inferior rivals Transbad Saints, led by the preposterous Helmet Horrocks, hit the headlines. But a fortuitous meeting with society Trustafarian Guy de Burret boots the unsuspecting Grams straight into the harsh limelight. Helmet can't accept this and the battlelines are drawn. <br /> <br /> The Grams camaraderie is soon rent asunder, as a bewildering host of journalists, music moguls and parasites works its sinister magic. Keva has to confont his demons as The Grams have to fight to save their minds, their bodies and their friendship. They win, lose and ultimately, win again in this bacchanalian tale of sex, drugs. And rock'n'roll.
