Estranged from his wife Fiona and daughter Jo, Ian is working in a call centre, doing a job he hates for a boss he can't stand. He is living alone in a room in a shared house. But things start to change when he finds a phone on a bench.
Meaning to return it to it's owner, he is side-tracked when he starts reading the cryptic messages intended for the phone's owner.
Over the course of the following week, as he reacts to the mysterious texts, he is taken out of his routine and out of his comfort zone. It soon starts to pull him back into his old life, leading him to confront events from his past and rebuild the bridges with his family he thought he had burnt.

A realistic deep dive into the black dog of depression. Resonated with me on a personal level from my own experiences of living the day to day slog of just going through the motions, simply existing. 3.75 stars worth a read
