The morning Tom's wife dies, he is lost and alone. He can't face home so he just drives and his journey of discovery begins.All he knows is that he can't go back and face their house with all her things, all their memories inside. So he drives. Anywhere. He doesn't know where. He just has to get away. It's the beginning of an amazing journey, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes comic, that explores life after a devastating loss, and through the people he meets - the big man Davy and the ethereal Martha, the odd Michael, the strange Angus and Dottie, the lost Ross, the temptress Abigail - Tom learns more and more about himself, about the woman he lost, and about the destiny that shapes the whole of life.
