Newly single and never happier, Alan throws himself into new experiences to see if trying fresh things can improve our wellbeing - and finds joy in the unexpected.

Finding himself back where he began, Alan is forced to wonder if he's come full circle or gone nowhere - before a tragic death leads to a moment of quite staggering catharsis.
