When a golden feather, the priceless antique mascot of the building, unexpectedly disappears, the residents have a mystery to solve. Will they find the talisman that previously bound them together, or will their community, now divided against itself, irrevocably unravel?

Synopsis

Revealing the inner world and outer life of Irvine Welsh, one of the most original and controversial writers of our times. Over four decades across novels, screenplays, and as a forthright, opinionated and outspoken media presence, the 'Trainspotting' author has both celebrated and defined contemporary society and culture, whilst simultaneously exposing all of their many flaws. In this intimate and personal documentary we meet the acclaimed writer at a crossroads, acutely aware of his mortality and accepting that his hedonistic days are drawing to a close, but still very much committed to new avenues of creativity and discovery.
On a book tour in Canada, Welsh chooses to explore the boundaries of consciousness by taking DMT at a Toronto drug therapy centre. The resulting hallucinogenic trip, illustrated within a kaleidoscopic imagined memory space, is interspersed with candid observational footage, cinematic archive, and novel excerpts to create a captivating piece of autobiographical cinema that gets to the beating heart of one of Scotland’s most vital creative voices.

Looking for answers, Jayce returns home only to become embroiled in a scheme to sell a large amount of cannabis grown in a garden shed by Kev, the elderly neighbour of his childhood friend, Paula.
The young people form an unlikely alliance with the old man and manage to sell the weed to a disarmingly-friendly dealer. But this attracts the attention of two local dimwit hoodlums who notice a dent in their trade and immediately suspect the odd thruple.
Jayce finally learns the truth about his incarceration: he was framed by his ex-best friend and leader of the local dimwits, Lee. Jayce, Paula and Kev are kidnapped by the two hoodlums hoping to usurp Lee's position. Lee, meanwhile, is disinherited by his father and switches allegiance to rescue the trio, seeking (and gaining) redemption for his framing of Jayce.
Looking for a new start, Jayce leaves town on his dream motorbike – purchased with the money from the weed deal. He leaves behind him a new 'family' in the shape of Paula, Kev and Lee.
