Able God works for low pay at a four-star hotel where he must flash his ‘toothpaste-white smile’ for wealthy guests. When not tending to the hotel’s overprivileged clientele, he muses over self-help books and draws life lessons from the game of chess. But Able’s ordinary life is upended when an early morning room service order leads him to interfere with Akudo, a sex worker involved with a powerful but dangerous hotel guest. Suddenly caught in a web of violence, guilt, and fear, Able must run to save himself – a journey that leads him into the desert with a group of drug-addled migrants, headed by a charismatic religious leader calling himself Ben Ten. The travellers’ dream of reaching Europe – and a new life – is shattered when they fall prey to human traffickers, suffer starvation, and find themselves on the precipice of death, fighting for their lives and their freedom.

An old soldier carves a croft out of the Finnish forest and calls it home, but try as he might to tame the land, its wild magic endures. For centuries his descendants will work the farm, through days of plenty and famine, love and war, their fates entangled with the rhythms of the ancient wilderness, where mysterious shapes flit between the trees and danger lurks in the treacherous fen. Like dragonflies darting over the marsh, their lives glimmer briefly and then are gone – a young girl entranced by the forest folk, afaithless fianc who meets his match beneath the age-old branches, a farmhand with a strange obsession. What endures is the wild, and the certainty that wherever we put down roots, the land will grow roots in us too.
