It's Natwest's last day before he leaves for university, and there's only one thing on his mind: the deeply embarrassing package he ordered to his house - which still hasn't arrived. He won't leave town without it. Any alternative is too distressing to consider ...
This is the story of twenty-four hours in the life of Natwest, and his small-town odyssey in pursuit of the missing package. It's also the story of all the people he encounters on this single day in his home town - from his mother to the dentist to the girl at the bus stop in a very sticky situation - and how their very different lives are entwined with his own.
