With one hand on his strong arm she can float along without the fear of going under. When Dev enters the dark waters of heroin use Novena plunges in after him. What starts as an attempt to help their friend Mick spirals into addiction. All Novena can do is hang on and hope she washes safely up on shore.Set in Pittsburgh in the 1990s, Novenas journey is peopled by characters as compassionate as they are depraved.
