Ronnie Fairhurst lives the middle-class nightmare, financially independent, but miserably married to his trophy wife, and wastefully wallowing in suburbia where he spends long hours every day yearning for his next distraction. When a fixed penalty notice lands on his doormat claiming that his motoring offence will take place on a date which is yet to come, Ronnie is forced out of his bubble and into the great wide open in an endeavour to vindicate himself of the crime.
Arrive Alive is a brutal tale of awakenings and imaginings, of death and coming to terms with deceit, and the staggering twists and turns of tragedy and redemption which bind these two disparate fates together.
