Set in the quiet beauty of the north Suffolk coast and buzzing 1990's Brighton, Hinterland reframes the question 'what if today was your last day on earth?' by asking 'what if it had been yesterday?'
Magnus was a bluesman once. So were his friends the street magician and the drifter. When student days in Brighton ended, their band and Magnus' carefree years continued as Kelly's Heroes toured the pubs and clubs of London and the South. They drank, they fought, they laughed, they partied and they made their music. Fifteen years later, a very different Magnus, a career obsessed, isolated, thirty-something Magnus, loses his life.
Hinterland is the story of how that Magnus became this Magnus as we walk with him on his journey through an afterlife he is not ready to accept. We learn how love and jealousy, friendship, hope and the pace of life itself shaped his soul. A soul that must face its earthly past if it is to find its way to peace.
