Efter ett smärtsamt sammanbrott står Michael mitt i spillrorna av sitt gamla liv – en kraschad relation, förlorade drömmar och en identitet i upplösning. I sökandet efter sig själv tvingas han möta barndomens sår, rädslan för att bli övergiven och den förtärande kraften i svartsjuka.

England in the time of his boyhood was a cold and colourless country. They had seen to that, the Autumn Men.
