In this screwball comedy revenge thriller, Game of Thrones meets Wake in Fright meets Kill Bill meets The Simpsons - Nock Loose is like nothing else in OzLit.
Joy is a gifted archer, a retired Olympian and a former stuntwoman on a cult Japanese tokusatsu show. Raised by a feckless grifter, her home is Bodkins Point. For 150 years, this small town has hosted an annual ultra-violent medieval festival called 'Agincourt'. During the festival, Bodkins Point transforms - assuming a parallel identity that plays tug-of-war with the way its townsfolk live for the rest of the year.
In the aftermath of a terrible fire, Joy's past and the town's dark history are set on a collision course as she takes the furious road to revenge.
