He's almost forty so he just needs one break – something to go right for a change. However, he's stuck in the monotonous ever turning circle of life. He works a dead-end job, with people he hates and for a boss he loathes, doing something a monkey can be trained for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is hope though – it's time for his annual two-weeks holiday to Brighton. Somewhere to relax and not think about the day to day struggles. Not having to get up at 5:00 AM or listen to the constant clanking of the machines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut he receives the call – he has to work instead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeeling lost and broken; he decides to do something which will hopefully change his life forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuddenly, because of one small piece of paper everything turns into a surreal dream – his whole world is turned upside down. He ignores the phone calls from work and jumps on a plane instead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, we should be careful what we wish for. Everything doesn't always turn out the way we want it. Fate has a wicked sense of humour.","brand":"Fugu-Fish Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075262103792,"sku":"2940157131098","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157131098_p0.jpg?v=1764092863","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157131098","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
