After the death of his beloved wife, Victor Harker takes flight from Newcastle to the parched streets of the capital. Perhaps here he will be able to fight off the ghost-like memories that linger in his present. A man haunted by terrifying memories re-invents himself; switching from captain to vagrant to poet in an attempt to escape his past. Will he confront the shame that keeps him from himself? A potent and moving meditation on the power of the past to haunt the present.
