Who would have thought that being knocked out by a plus size mannequin would lead to a complete life change? Stephen is stuck in a rut: dead-end job, no romantic prospects, no hope. A series of bizarre accidents look set to change his path forever. Having been given a year off work, Stephen decides to undertake a journey across country, aboard a less than manly, nonetheless affordable, mode of transportation. A near miss with a miniature poodle leaves Stephen in a cast, his moped wrecked and his journey postponed; he is forced to spend 6 weeks in a village. His physical journey at a standstill, trapped amongst a quirky cast of characters, Stephen finds himself on a different kind of journey, that of self discovery. A Reason to Stay playfully satirises society. Follow Stephen's adventures whilst he conquers his fear of shopping, teenagers and lascivious older women, in a humorous yet strangely real tale of the effect one person can have on those around them without even realising.
