After the Lights Go Out is a propulsive exploration of mixed-race identity, the price that athletes pay to entertain, and one man's battle to reconcile his past, from the CWA-shortlisted author of Three-Fifths.

It's not a comeback - it's a fight for his life

Xavier 'Scarecrow' Wallace is a biracial Black MMA fighter on the wrong side of thirty, who is facing the comeback fight of his life.

He is also losing his battle with pugilistic dementia - a struggle he can longer deny.

As he trains, he visits the nursing home of his father, a white man who is suffering from end-stage Alzheimer's. Here, he witnesses episodes that reveal shocking truths about his past and family.

When a sparring session with a young fighter goes horribly wrong, Xavier is faced with a dangerous dilemma: he must throw his fight or suffer the deadly consequences.
