Do you ever wonder where your life is going?
You are not alone.

Story (that's his name) can feel a middle-youth crisis coming on. He's got a great job, a great flat and great mates:
Mac, who is obsessed with biscuits;
JP, who never says anything if it's nice;
Cannie, whose only admirer is the bird that lives outside her window;
and
Vincent, who has finally proposed to his girlfriend after nineteen years.

But alongside the drinks and the kicks, what has any of them actually done? And why is time passing like sand in a sieve?

Is it possible to turn life around? Life is just life, right? And change is a gasping and slippery fish. . .
