Synopsis:
Authentic, cool and breathtaking: a fantastic novel from the traceur world.

Hell down below, above the dream of flying. Dipper, Corin, Skylark and Jay are traceurs. As often as they can, they practise parkour – a sport that involves overcoming obstacles – in old factory buildings and parks, and on sportsfields. Kite, Corin’s ex-girlfriend joins them and she and Dipper become close. But she cannot forget Corin – although he is preoccupied with something else. It seems to have something to do with his sister, Kittiwake. And suddenly hell seems very close to home indeed…

A dramatic story of friendship and love that resonates with the parkour lifestyle. The author spent months in the company of a group of Leipzig traceurs, and her novel speaks their language and reflects their experiences.
