His once-comfortable family life has been replaced by a never-ending tour of service stations that offer him shelter, anonymity, washing facilities, and food. The story follows his journey south from Scotland on his annual pilgrimage to a temporary Christmas shelter in London where he finds comfort, friendship, and warmth. Over the course of his Homeric journey, Hector decides to reconnect with his long-estranged past. As his previous life catches up with him, the story of how he came to live this marginal life emerges.
