Actor Richard returns home from London to visit his dad Ken, a year on from the passing of his mum Jean. But on arriving, he realises his dad may need more help than he'd originally thought.

Richard decides the time has come to clear Ken's house of all his junk – or as Ken calls it, 'his memories'. As Ken's suspicions over Richard's true motives grow, the arrival of Mr Oddjob, local handyman and Richard's former school nemesis, complicates matters further.
