For over forty years, former band members of Generation 27, a briefly successful band in the late seventies, have been haunted by the shadows of the group's collapse.

Only when strangely familiar figures emerge from those shadows is each of them forced to confront their loss and regret.
The past really is a foreign country, but how will the three friends navigate their way from there to the future?
