Sam, a 45-year-old Londoner of dual heritage, has lived his life accompanied by voices no one else can hear. Chief among them is the taunting echo of a childhood bully who refuses to let Sam forget the guilt he carries over his mother's death.
When his elusive, dream-like girlfriend, known only as Boat Woman, disappears without warning, Sam's fragile world begins to unravel, and he becomes convinced that only his death can protect those he loves.
As the past and present collide in Sam's fractured mind, he is drawn into a labyrinth of memory and revelation that challenges everything he thought he knew. But the voices that haunt him may yet become his guides, if he can only find the courage to listen.
Luminous, unsettling and tender, Where the Shadows End is a powerful meditation on self-acceptance, the nature of guilt and the need to belong.
