Fearful and reclusive, he senses what others cannot. Though pubs confine him every minute of each day, he marries visions of golden horses running beneath the prison, heat flowing like molten metal using their company backs with the destructive violence of jail life. Two outsiders project here: A fallen priest and the Lady, an investigator who looks for buried information from prisoners' pasts that can save those soon-to-be-executed.
