Matthew has a good job, a beautiful girlfriend, a nice car. He is an engineer at a well known company. He does all the things that society expects of him. So why does he feel so desperately unhappy? And if this is what life is all about, then what is the point? In an attempt to find out, he quits everything familiar and books a one way ticket to the other side of the globe. He finds his way to the small island of Skyros in Greece. He takes a job at a Holistic Holiday Centre teaching windsurfing. And as the warm dusty Greek days pass, he finds himself asking: "What am I doing here?" And "What is love?" He journeys through countries, and his own mind to try to find what it is that has been eluding him.
