2014, LondonTrapped inside a car about to explode, Margaret is rescued by a scarred stranger who then disappears. Margaret remembers little, but she's spent her life remembering little - her childhood is full of holes and forgotten memories. And now, for the first time, she has a burning desire to discover who she is. And find the man who saved her life.1985, ScotlandBig George, the dreamer, the soft touch of a family of notorious Glaswegian hard men, has not seen his baby girl, Moll, since she was born. And now he wants her back. So he takes her, with no thought to the consequences. And they very soon find themselves on a road trip that changes them both forever. Flitting effortlessly between past and present, this is a harsh, gritty yet ultimately uplifting journey of an estranged father and daughter, exploring the strength of family ties and our huge capacity for forgiveness.
