Into the Night Sky

The story of an unlikely friendship between a boy and a man who come into each other's lives when they are both in need of a friend. Conor Fahy, owner of a struggling bookshop, is finding it hard to cope in the aftermath of his partner Leni's tragic death. His friend Ella Wilde tries to be supportive but is herself in a fragile mental state - she has just been axed from her job as a TV presenter, having been caught shoplifting. Then eight-year-old Jack White walks into Conor's bookshop and settles down on the floor to read. Jack likes Ben 10, Giant Jawbreakers and Ronaldo. He likes his dad (when he doesn't shout) but he doesn't see him very often. He doesn't like the bad bugs that are eating up his ma inside her tummy. Conor listens to the talkative boy but finds it hard to piece together what is really happening in his life.
