it's normal for a widower to get the blues. What if he happens to be a jaded forty-something parish minister? Yep, he gets himself a sabbatical. Follow the Revd Kevin Birley as he revisits various cultural references: U2, The Matrix, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Tracey Emin, Eddy Izzard and Dr Who. His "friends reunited" dimension delivers more surprises: from model can-do evangelicals to struggling stage actors. Joining an occasional rock band gives time for healing and renewed vocation to "emerge" in his subconscious - all to be tested by the encounters this road story will throw at him.
