It is 1969, and Stephen is trying to concentrate on his A-Levels. But, he meets up with old friend Astrid, and her new lover Spencer, and stays with them in the hippy household 'The Hollies'. Peace and love are tangible: until his passionate attraction for another girl staying there goes sour. He drifts into the radical arts scene, of far left politics, and finally into a squalid squat in London. A return to the idyllic 'The Hollies' seems a good idea, but now the house has become a commune, and Spencer is identifiably a guru. When this, too, inevitably, goes sour, Stephen must find new spiritual supports, and unravel the truth from the mystery. What was real? And, what was just a dream?
