Darren Milton thinks he has everything but, when he loses it, he discovers that he didn't have anything at all. He then embarks on a series of encounters and adventures in order to reclaim what he thought was already his. During the course of these events, he meets characters ranging from a Duchess to Britain's most daring entrepreneur. He is involved in a political protest, a virtual rock festival, an industrial scandal and revitalising a Scottish island. Meanwhile, the steady background presence of his oldest friend, rebellious daughter and salt-of-the-Earth mother keeps him on the straight and narrow. Or as close to it as possible. In turns, this humorous, dramatic and touching tale tells the story of a normal child of the Sixties who has taken a well worn path only to be surprised that it doesn't lead to where he hoped.
