Chick arrives back in Scotland for a reunion with his old mates Gary and Jackson only to find Gary's daughter has been the victim of a life-changing car accident. The antiseptic smell of the wards, the relentless beep of the life support and the sterile hospital bed contrast sharply in Chick's eye with the young wild-haired girl lying there unconscious; inspiring this downtrodden man to embark on a quest to save her life.
