Post-punk playwright Kevin Previn returns to his native Glasgow, after an absence of ten years, prompted by the death of his friend, Mike Illingworth, author of The Book of Man, who has succumbed to AIDS. Previn believes he?s trawling the streets of Glasgow to make sense of his friend?s troubled life and death. But it soon becomes clear that he is engaged on a personal journey, a search to understand his own history of childhood brutalities and youthful ambitions, of lost love, mental breakdown and the terrible power the state can wield against those who fail to conform.
