The Fathers
£9.99
In a busy maternity ward, first-time father Dan meets Jada, a dad welcoming his sixth child into the world. Dan & Jada come from very different places: both called Glasgow. Dan is a successful TV writer with a townhouse in the West End & a shiny Tesla ready to drive his wife & baby home. Jada is a hustling, small-time criminal who is already planning how to separate Dan from some of the luxuries Jada has never been able to enjoy in his tiny flat in a council block. Both men find that the birth of their sons has fired their ambitions. Dan plans to walk away from his saccharine TV success & finally knuckle down to writing that novel he always felt he had in him. While, for Jada, it’s the opportunity for one last get-rich-quick scheme – ripping off a local airport. When a tragedy occurs, their worlds are brought closer than either could ever have imagined – close enough that it could mean destruction for both of them.
