After Michael is in a car accident, abandoned at the scene, and loses his job while in recovery, he starts to feel at odds with how he's spent his life. He rents a cheap basement room and tries to come to terms with the state of the world, via online bitesize information and videos. As he struggles with his narrow perception of the world, clashing with the complicated reality, he becomes fixated on an English businessman who is mismanaging a local lough.
