Synopsis
Roger and Harry’s bond is so strong they could be brothers. They share the same food, music, computer games and even dreams… Everything other than their race. Roger is black, and Harry is white. But what does that matter, right?
When Roger is re-homed, Harry is left behind in the care system, and these ‘brothers’ grow up in opposite ends of Britain’s social spectrum. Then on Harry’s birthday, Runaku (Roger’s reclaimed Zimbabwean birth name) returns for a dream reunion that turns into a nightmare situation.
