"It was as if he had missed the main part of the story and arrived between the big climax and the end credits. A new order had established itself and everyone – except him – lived happily ever after. There was no way anything interesting could still happen between now and the end."

Philip is searching – for meaning, for connection, for someone to share a moment with. By day he works out of a rented room; by night he drifts through cafés and bars, dodging awkward conversations with his landlady and hoping for more. When he meets Gina, a local musician, something begins to shift. But relationships are complicated: misunderstandings, emotional misfires, and the looming presence of Gina's intense ex increasingly take their toll on Philip.

• The quiet longing of modern life

A tenderly observed, witty, and deeply human graphic novel about connection, confusion, and the spaces in between everyday life – from a rising talent in the British comics scene.
