Although gifted with a passion and talent for writing about the world, Harry J. Abbot can’t find inspiration after a terrible car accident that left him paralysed from his chest down. His unemployed party going brother, Max, feels responsible for the accident and desperately wants to bring inspiration back to Harry’s life. Harry’s deep despair stirs Max’s heart and forces him to realise his brother’s future as a writer is in his hands. Max scours the streets of London searching for actors to perform outside the window frame of Harry’s room to make him feel he is witnessing unique and incredible unheard stories, without ever knowing Max is behind them. The little money Max can afford means he has to contract people from the underclass of society: the homeless, misfits and drug addicts. Whilst helping Harry refind his passion and smile again; the plan ends up unravelling with a most unexpected ending.
