Sean has recently arrived from Iran, lives in a refugee centre and faces possible deportation after becoming linked to a robbery.
Sean and Davy meet by chance, witness a crime together and travel across Germany while relying on one another and on occasional helpers.
The protagonists cross Germany by several forms of transport, encounter police and criminals, take temporary work and repeatedly become entangled with cows.
The book includes a violent robbery in which a man is shot, pursuit by criminals and police, fear of deportation, flight from residential care, precarious work and repeated danger.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
