Mike is missing; he has no money, a dead-end job and a pregnant girlfriend. Since childhood, Mike has been in love with comics and the escape they offer. When a London publisher responds to a letter about his own comic with the offer of a meeting, Mike realizes it's his last chance to destroy the demons of the past and prove he's somebody. When the meeting goes horribly wrong and he has nowhere to turn, he meets Lucy and soon discovers that you can't let the past define your future.
