Donny, an American expat teaching English in the Madrid of the Great Recession, is a recovering addict who's spent the last ten years struggling to write a novel. To fulfill this lifelong dream, he's put everything else on hold, including his friendships, career, and starting a family with Alba, the woman who rescued him from his vices. One day, he looks out his window at a construction site and spots the remains of a water supply tunnel that dates back to the height of the Spanish Empire. The discovery becomes an obsession that eventually fuels inspiration for a new novel, one that will write itself, but he soon realizes the only way to write the story, and unblock his life, is to live it. So Donny decides to embark on a perilous adventure that will bring him face-to-face once again with Madrid's seedy temptations and his own addictions, as well as threaten his future with Alba. Jason Paul Barker's debut novel explores the inner struggle pitting our true selves against whom society has preordained us to be. Dreams and desire clash with conformity in this layered psychological thriller that will not only leave you guessing what's real and what's fiction, but wondering how much of our lives are scripted...and by whom.
