Ulyse Bland doesn't know what he wants-but he knows where to get it. A castaway in the chaos of the late 1970s, bereft of belief, a drone in a dead-end job, Ulyse stumbles onto the Sex Pistols one night-and suddenly finds himself on a plane to the mean streets of England, in the midst of its 'winter of discontent,' in a mad search for well, the meaning of it all. His journey draws him into the orbit of streetwise dreamer Penny Lane, embittered Royal Navy exile Jingo, the fledgling, floundering pop group The Acid of Alienation and an eccentric host of others-all under the specter of his long-lost, expatriate English father.
