A hilarious and heartbreaking road trip adventure about friendship, grief and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.

Hedley Ambrose has always played it safe, especially since the night that changed his life for ever. But when his friend Aiden steals a troublesome alpaca, he finds himself on the run...and anything but safe.

Mistaken for the thief, Hedley ends up on the road trip of a lifetime: accidentally robbing a petrol station, spending the night in a haunted wood, and becoming an overnight internet sensation known as the #AlpacaBandit.

As the chaos builds, Hedley isn't just running from the police - he's running from the truth. And as his world comes crashing down around him, will Hedley play it safe? Or will he take his biggest risk yet?
