No Good Deed

What do you do when the homeless man on the street you?

€™ve just given money to thanks you by name and turns out to be one of your ?

€˜closest?

€™ friends, one you haven?

€™t seen for over twenty years?

Take him for a hot meal and see him on his way?

Give him a lot more money than you usually would?

Or take him in and try to get him back on his feet?

For Alan, there?

€™s no question ?

€“ only natural that he?

€™d want to see his old mate Craig off the streets, even if only for a few nights, and into some clean clothes.

But what if the successful life you?

€™ve made for yourself ?

€“ good job, happy marriage, lovely kids, grand Victorian house (you did well out of the property boom, thank you very much) ?

€“ is one that that your old pal would quite like to have too?

Even if it means taking it from you?

Gradually, inevitably, mayhem ensues as Craig turns Alan?

€™s orderly household upside down, threatening to wreck Alan?

€™s life for good.

Following the divergent lives of two childhood friends, No Good Deed is a funny and painful examination of friendship; of the strange currents of ambition, loathing, pity and affection that flow between people over the decades; and of men getting older as they fail and succeed.
