When reality comes calling, do you face it . . . or keep running?

Meet Danny – the definition of a man who 'could do better'.

He drinks more than he should, lives in his best friend's garden shed. . . and he hasn't spoken to his sister in sixteen years.

But when Danny winds up in a misleading newspaper article, claiming his lifestyle might be quite enlightened, he is thrust into the limelight. Letters begin to flood in from strangers seeking his guidance.

Wolfie is the daughter of Danny's estranged sister.

She's never met her uncle, but her mother is struggling and Wolfie needs help. So when she sees Danny's picture in the paper, she sets out to find him.

Within a week, Danny goes from being responsibility-free to a big brother, an uncle and an unwitting existential 'guru' to some very lost souls.

Can he become the man they all need him to be?
