About this title

Synopsis

Nick Fletcher is a middle-aged man who got his break in advertising in the 80s and 90s, when the industry was all lunches and parties and salary packages. He was a big deal back then - certainly in his own mind.

His problem (and therefore, the problem of most people around him, ) is that he acts like those days were still going, and that the party hadn't ended. So much so, that he has become something of an anachronism. He just doesn't fit in anymore.

His life reels from one disaster to the next, until his story takes a devastating and tragic turn. He is forced to confront his demons in ways that he could never have foreseen, as he struggles to find himself again, and gain some sense of redemption.
