The celebrated lyricist Edwyn Collins could only say two phrases after waking up: "the possibilities are endless" and his wife's full name, "Grace Maxwell". This is the life-affirming story of Collins, who had the contents of his mind effectively deleted following a major stroke.

Placed inside Edwyn's mind, we embark on a remarkable journey from the brink of death back to language, music, life and love. With the help of his wife Grace, Edwyn submerges himself in a landscape of memories, as he tries to unlock the story of his past. More than a story of determination against all odds; it is an intimate and life-affirming tale of rediscovery.
