William "Bill" Eckersley is an unemployed aspiring writer, a night swimmer, and a man drowning in isolation and alcoholism. Living in a working-class English seaside town, he finds himself trapped-by a system designed to keep him down and by the weight of his own fractured mind.

Haunted by self-doubt and a relentless search for inspiration, Bill struggles to finish his first novel. His journey takes him from the cold, moonlit waters of the sea to the depths of his own psyche, where reality blurs with fantasy. As he spirals further, he discovers love, obsession, and chaos in equal measure.

But when creativity and madness intertwine, will Bill find the breakthrough he's searching for-or lose himself completely?

A raw and unflinching exploration of art, addiction, and the human mind, this novel is a gripping portrait of a writer on the edge.
