Two brothers. One cartoon dog. And a load of trouble. Fifteen-year-old Laurence just wants a normal life, but it’s not easy. When mum fails to come home one night, Laurence tells nobody, terrified he and his brother will be taken into care. Instead, he attempts to keep up the pretence that mum is still around: dressing up in her clothes to trick the neighbors and spinning a complicated tangle of lies. A tender story about family and hope.
