Ben Oppenheim is juggling his ex-wife, two children and his love for Julia, and he urgently needs money. He is hoping for a breakthrough with his new screenplay.

When Russia threatens nuclear strike, Ben obeys his flight instinct. The Oppenheim family takes the next plane to Brazil.
Audacious, intelligent, paranoid, self-deprecating and full of wit, this is a debut novel about the burning issues of our era.
