TWO TEENAGERS A GENERATION APART:

Esso, running out of time and into trouble.

Rhia, orphaned and searching for answers.

One catastrophic bullet ties them together – and, when their fates collide, a race against the clock becomes a race against time itself . . .

Enter The Upper World and discover the storytelling sensation from an extraordinary new talent that is blowing readers away. Soon to be a major Netflix movie starring Oscar-nominated Daniel Kaluuya, this phenomenal debut effortlessly interweaves the theory of time travel with a life-or-death thriller that is impossible to put down.

As mind-blowing as a Christopher Nolan epic with the gritty realism of Top Boy, this is an unprecedented debut that explores what it can take to get through the day when the odds are against you – and why the future is worth fighting for.
