‘The screaming ambulance slows down a fraction as it hits the junction of Parkway and Camden High Street. It feels as if my bladder is in my head, and any minute now it will explode, and blast piss and blood at a million-foot-pounds pressure out of my coke-scarred nostrils.’ Noah Arkwright has experienced too much. A filmmaker and now a dry alcoholic, he’s lived life to the full – sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll his relentless backdrop – but now the stakes are even higher.
