Son returns to the home of Alcoholic father..

Michael Bamford, a musician is returning home to retrieve his beloved guitar - which he needs because he has an audition in Leeds. He hopes to avoid a meeting with his father, but unfortunately they bump into each other as Michael is leaving. The farm is deserted, Eddie (Michael's father) is a wreck, the house is disgusting and it's clear that Eddie, who killed his wife in a drink-driving accident, is drinking again. Will Michael give up his dreams to help his father get back on the wagon, or is there more to Eddie's behaviour than a simple relapse?
