What value can an old man have, who no longer leaves his bed and seldom leaves his room located in the attic of his retirement home? He's irascible and impatient with his room-mate and any other residents who happen to call by his room. Inside his head are memories which are alive. Life in a country town after migrating from Scotland at the age of five. Of his birth family he is the last man standing; there is no one who remembers things quite the way that he does. To Andy, his parents, his brothers and his cousins live on, if only in his memory. For eighty years he lived a full life, but a runaway horse ten years ago, put a stop to his meanderings beside Sydney Harbour. He feels all but forgotten by all his own kith and kin who are busy living their own lives. This might have been the end of his story, if not for the arrival of Maggie who inspires Andy to write again.
