A sunny morning on the beach playing in the gentle waves with his young daughter and his mobile phone rings.

It will be a call that will change everything.

A true and personal (and often funny) story of how a father tries to come to terms with a son’s fatal decision. A journey to try and make sense of what seems senseless.

Someone and something must be to blame for what Tom did – was it him, his ex, their arguments, Tom’s friends, his upbringing, his girlfriend, drink or drugs, the tattoos, his genes or just him and it was always meant to be?

There must be an answer out there somewhere.

With a soundtrack including music by Tom himself and others who have taken their own lives, a father tries to understand the waves that overwhelmed his son.
