Our lives are underpinned by a complex web of tunnels. Perhaps they're shreds of memory and experience, that find their parallel in the underrunners, formed by soil erosion that shape the fragile landscape where Tris lives with his escapist, romanticist father. When the son's own escapist world is penetrated by the mysterious Winola then nightmare follows closely and so does a coalescence of shadows from his past. This is a quality narrative that commends itself to serious, thoughtful readers.
