London,the week before Christmas,2007.Over seven days we follow the lives of seven major characters: a hedge-fund manager trying to bring off the biggest trade of his career;a professional footballer recently arrived from Poland; a young lawyer with little work and too much time to speculate; a hack book-reviewer; a schoolboy hooked on skunk and reality TV; and a Tube driver whose Circle Line train joins these and countless other lives together in a daily loop.

Sebastian Faulks probes not only the self-deceptions of this intensely realised group of people,but their hopes and loves as well.As the novel moves to its gripping climax,they are forced,one by one,to confront the true nature of the world they inhabit.
