Connor is 24 brilliant broken and out of control. He?s the swaggering frontman of The Ossians a Scottish indie band on the brink of signing a major record deal.? Desperate to make their mark they head off on a two-week winter tour across the cities and hinterlands of Scotland - a last-ditch attempt to find fame purpose and themselves. But the tour soon spirals into a surreal chaotic odyssey. From seedy bars and snowbound towns to a final defining Glasgow gig the band hurtles through a whirlwind of seagull massacres botched drug deals a mysterious stalker radioactive beaches bomb-testing ranges epileptic fits riotous Russian submariners deadly storms epiphanies regular beatings and random shootings. Raw darkly funny and wild with energy?The Ossians?is a gloriously anarchic story of rock?n?roll obsession national identity and self-destruction and what it means to belong - in a band in a country in a life unravelling at speed.
