"A spellbinding tale of hope and redemption." Jan Newton, Remember No More
"Heart breaking, heart warming, at times very funny and always real." Kate Granville, The Secret River
Best friends Mackie and Sharon feel trapped working at a scrapyard in Swansea. Sharon, a charismatic club singer, dreams of a glamorous future on a cruise ship, while Mackie struggles as a weary foster parent to his wayward daughter's twins.
But their lives take an unexpected turn when they discover a mysterious kid trapped in a scrap car. The kid has an extraordinary gift — he can draw the future. As Mackie agrees to protect him, they are thrust into a world of uncertainty. Who is the kid hiding from? Who is hunting him?
In his quest to safeguard the kid, Mackie must confront his deepest fears…
Exploring the indomitable spirit to overcome life's challenges and start afresh, Scrap is a captivating human fable of friendship and second chances.
