Gabriel is a 15-year-old North London schoolboy, trying to come to terms with a new life after the equilibrium of his family home has been shattered by the ousting of his father. Forced to grow up quickly, Gabriel seeks support from his remembered twin brother, Archie, and from his own 'gift', which urges him into areas of life that require the utmost courage and faith. A chance visit to 1970s rock star Lester Jones crystallizes Gabriel's turbulent emotions, in this tender and moving meditation on the power of the imagination.
