His wife, Stevie Furness (Anastasia Griffith), cannot deal with his antics and kicks him out, so he must move in with friends Nathan (Adrian Bower) and Kathy (Claudie Blakely). He starts getting help for his mental disorders, through the assistance of new friend Charlotte (Shirley Henderson). But the disorders are serious and when stresses from his personal life exacerbate the situation, he spirals downward into a dark and dangerous depression.
