Invisible Schemes

No-one is buying McCann’s drugs, and he wants to know why.

McCann sends his nephew, Mark, into the housing schemes that make up his crumbling empire. Mark’s reports of an omnipresent steel ball, a never-ending football match, encroaching gardens and nocturnal vigilante poets close in around McCann. Each word is more binding than the last, tangling McCann in answers that only create more questions.

Faced with the choice between investigating further and escaping the world he helped create, McCann continually sends Mark back into the scheme. With nothing but his senses and his endless idealism, Mark melts into the fabric of McCann’s empire. It is a place that cannot be explained, only observed; a labyrinth that has no end or beginning, where humanity perseveres in strange and mysterious ways.

Invisible Schemes is a biting satire that shines a light on the marginalized working class and how reality, time, and all other certainties are blurred beyond recognition to those who aren’t paying attention.
