Paul Holland is an unemployed graduate who has lost the keys to his future. He returns home from university to discover that he is surplus to requirements and slightly less useful than a paper umbrella. Lost in a world where all that anyone cares about is getting on and climbing the social ladder he embarks on an experiment to test himself against the world. He moves in with two other deadbeat graduates and becomes embroiled in a direct action group amassing in the streets of his home town. Whilst his friends descend into chaos and madness Paul tries to make sense of it all. A story about friendship, idealism and how not to live your life.
