Just how far will a father go to protect his daughter, especially when his 'protection' is so fundamentally flawed?Billy Whitlow, one time "Don of Doo Wop", has survived his days of drink, drugs and groupies, settling now into a more peaceful life centred on his blossoming seventeen year old daughter Bex.Revising for her 'A' Levels, Bex visits Billy one Easter but the longed-for simplicity of father-daughter happiness is shattered one night in a local club.Billy's world becomes one of questions; Why is his daughter in a drug induced coma? Who put her in that state? What the hell will his ex-wife say and do? And just who is the coldly dark and efficient stranger pulling Billy across the serrated edges of normality?Set amid North Devon's small town beauty, Cincinnati Dancing Pig tells the story of an ordinarily flawed father as he journeys through a landscape littered with small time crooks and their selfish, get-rich-quick lives, looking for answers...and is set to a nagging background soundtrack of classic crooner motifs.
