  Abe Stone is a 61-year-old alcoholic with a Henry VIII fixation going through his third divorce. When he starts receiving letters from his dead mother, Evelyn, he is thrown into a late-stage identity crisis. His fourteen-year-old granddaughter, Lucille, is expelled from school and the unlikely couple embark on a quest to work out what Evelyn is trying to impart and how Abe can begin to put his dishevelled life in order. No Fireworks is a story about eight extraordinary days in the life of an ordinary man who can no longer put off answering the big questions: 'What do I believe in?' 'What will I leave behind when I die?' 'Why is my dead mother sending me letters from beyond the grave?'
