After years in a mental institution, 1960s flower-child Jay Emerson escapes and 'awakens' in a world he no longer understands. Like a modern-day Rip Van Winkle, he finds everything and everyone around him has changed: 'Message' songs have been replaced by meaningless disco dance tunes; boxy econo-cars travel roads previously dominated by muscle cars; anti-establishment friends are now materialistic 9-to-5 strangers - and they refuse to reveal the fate of his former girlfriend... "...gives new perspective to the 'Sixties Era... destined to become a cult classic..." - Amanda Hyde, author, Broken Dreams "... a spell-binding psychological adventure tale ... The Late Man brings back the 'Sixties with a vengeance!" - Deborah Morrison, author, Mystical Poetry
