Twenty-nothing

James Burroughs is scared. It seems like only yesterday he was a bright eyed, ambitious young man of twenty-one, freshly graduated and ready to make his mark in the world. But it wasn’t yesterday. It was six years ago. And in that time his dreams and ambitions have disappeared faster than an emu being chased by Rod Hull.

After being brought face to face with the stark reality that his future has become his present and in six years he has progressed exactly nowhere, James is determined to find out what happened to his former hopes, dreams and desires, which he decides to do the best way he knows how. By living those days all over again.

James’ ambition to transform himself from the twenty-nothing he has become to the twenty-something he feels he should be takes in chavs, Global Hypercolour, sex toys and Gloucestershire based music festivals, all under the banner of the Young Person's Philosophy - James’ new guiding light. Abandoning himself to the whims of youth ensures that what James intends as a short-term project has consequences that neither he nor his friends could ever have predicted.
