Luca is back in Manchester, returning from Harvard with little more than a broken heart and a failed academic career. Desperate for money and still clinging to his literary dreams, he finds work as a ghost writer. Andy, a local man with a colourful history, wants Luca to write his story.

But the assignment is a personal one: Andy has the same condition Luca’s dad suffered from, before he took his own life. Now, balancing his artistic ambitions with Andy’s demands, Luca must confront the past he thought he’d escaped, and the failures that have led him back home.
