Tom Ladlow is not safe, stuck by stringy nerves and caged inside a skull, his monstrous, tenacious mind twists and contorts his thoughts into nightmares and creates big, fat, ugly mountains out of mole hills.
Whilst branded with bi-polar and dosed up on Prescription medicines, Tom’s mum dies and he finds himself in the ‘comforting‘ vice of a psychiatrist, robot type human who he disregards by joining a martial arts gym.
Once he moves into his mums old flat in East London he falls for his next door neighbour, Lilly, only Lilly has problems of her own.
Hooked on Vicodin, Tom begins to have strong conceptions of his purpose on this depraved little planet and starts to believe he can help people close to him, in a real-life, superhero kind of way.
