Danzie Stewart falls out of bed one night attempting to stand, and realizes that he has had a stroke. His life is turned upside down. From there he undertakes a mental, intellectual and experimental journey and has a number of experiences with friends, family, hospital staff and patients as he attempts to make sense of what is happening to him. His new life takes him on a rollercoaster of mental engagements and practical experiences some of which are familiar, supporting, heart-warming, reassuring and engaging whilst others are traumatic, unexpected and threaten the very core of his being. He is forced to do a re-evaluation of himself. Yet, somehow he finds the way to come through and survive.
