From publisher: In Walking Shadows, a couple stuck in low paying, soul-destroying work get by in a small flat while bringing up two children. Feelings of failure and resentment turn into a need to escape through drink, drugs, and gambling. The two brothers brought up in this despair approach adulthood with low expectaions. They repeat their father's example for their own escape and thrills. one brother succeeds in breaking the cycle to search for a new direction while the other.
