This is Now<\/h1>\n

An ordinary Monday, at an ordinary bank, in an ordinary town. There was no way of knowing what was about to happen.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, the first thing Martha thinks about is a drink. She reads her six reasons why she shouldn\u2019t; the ones she wrote over a year ago. Two of the reasons are the same. A name. She didn\u2019t think she\u2019d ever see him again.<\/p>\n

Tobias was a boy when the bombs dropped in Dresden, in February 1945. Now, old and alone, he lies in a hospital bed where the memories he\u2019s been running from all his life are insistent visitors.<\/p>\n

Roman, a fourteen year old Polish immigrant, is on the run. From the police. From Jimmy and his gang. He understands now, what it means to be caught between a rock and a hard place. Mama had said that everything would be different in Ireland. Better. She was wrong.<\/p>\n

Cillian, a detective, finds himself back in Dublin, investigating a bank robbery. His girlfriend plans their future as she awaits his return. But the past is like a current, pulling him back, reminding him of all he\u2019d had. All he\u2019d lost.<\/p>\n

Each of them is running from the moments that brought them here. To a place where the past cannot be undone and the future cannot be known.<\/p>\n

A place called now.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
