Only child and budding author Richard travels back to his family home in North East Scotland to look after his aging and wilful dad Ken, as he slips into ever more eccentric and erratic behaviour.
Richard's long overdue visit to recently-widowed Ken results in him realising that his dad may need a bit more full time help than he'd realised. Not that Ken would agree, but that statement is pretty much true about anything. Ken is an eccentric, strong-willed technophobe who is very much set in his ways, leaving Richard to worry about his dad growing old.
