Danny Proctor never met his father, a man who called himself Jack in one world and Tommy in another. Danny's never heard anybody say a good word about him and he's only ever seen one photograph of him. Thirty years down the line Danny receives a tape cassette in the post. On the tape his long dead father warns him about two men, who he names and shames for the part they played in his downfall, but both men have already played key roles in Danny's life and continue to do so.
