Animal Nightlife
Vikram, Ravi and Sean, childhood friends from south London, seem to be the only ones who have noticed that they have wings. As adults and ''multiples'' - their hybrid human/animal forms - they are all now dealing with the personal and political fallout of what is turning out to be an unexpectedly turbulent present in which ''singulars'' - narrow-minded, non-syncretic - are the ones making the weather. It feels like a dangerous time for anyone deemed an outsider. Human society has rarely been this reckless or rapacious, and the fragile ecosystem holding together all the unlikely alliances of ''animal nightlife'' has been placed in mortal danger. Consumerism, greed, violence, and prejudice of every kind are ranged against the brave souls taking a stand by lining the telegraph wires as a final showdown draws ever closer.
