Cameo

A small space in time in the city of Edinburgh, twelve people's lives are scattered around the cluster of streets, their individual worlds weaving and intertwining. From the gates of Saughton prison to the leafy avenues of Morningside, each has a part to play in another's story. Stringing them all together is the abduction of six-year-old Lily Maxwell, who dances in and out of the narratives, touching everyone who sees her. Lily, who loves attention and fairy wings and has a weakness for Raspberry Ripple ice cream, takes a stranger's hand and disappears into the city.
