Summary
The Brackens are a respectable family that live in a respectable house on a respectable street. The kitchen is always pristine, the garden neatly manicured, and the brass door knocker polished so frequently you could use it as a mirror. Their lives are the very definition of suburban bliss.
That is, until the Blackwoods move in next door, with their drunken partying, loud squabbling, and tendency to blare heavy metal music in the early hours of the morning.
After a storm blows down the fence that separates their gardens, both households immediately begin arguing over who should pay for the replacement. A series of disused patio stones are used to demarcate the boundary between their properties in the meantime, with both families threatening retribution should the other dare to tamper with the stones. It takes precisely twenty-four hours before Amos Bracken wakes up to discover that the stones have seemingly rolled themselves a further four feet over onto his side.
Aeron Bracken returns from his second year of university to find his family embroiled in a petty neighbourhood feud with seemingly no end in sight. A chance encounter with Davos Blackwood may just hold the key to ending the feud once and for all.
