In the middle of a cricket tour far from home, David Warner received news that stopped time — Shane Warne, the great spinner who had mentored him through the years, had died at fifty-two on a beach in Thailand. Now Warner finds himself caught between duty to his team in Pakistan and the deeper duty of grief, hoping the calendar will allow him five days to cross the world and stand at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to say goodbye to a man who always showed up for him.
