Abandoned by his father at an early age, Jim MacLaine seems to have inherited the old man's restlessness.

He lives, for a time, a life consisting of dead-end jobs and meaningless sex, before returning home to work in his mother's shop. But still he can't settle down; he begins to think that the life of a pop musician might be the thing for him.
