Brandon Bowmore is a suburban Australian intellectual. Just ask him. He'd like to think in another place and time he'd have been Lord Byron, but alas it's not another time: it's Brisbane in the 1970s and 80s.
His best friend Paddy recounts episodes of Bowmore's life - the experiences they shared, from their days as precocious schoolboys, through their time at University when they were just too late for the hippy movement they should have been part of, and into adulthood.
Neither of them 'fit in', but Brandon especially is ill equipped for the realities and frustrations of the real world. Their stories are by turns funny, wry, and poignant as they each come to terms with their own small triumphs, big disappointments, and inevitable compromises.
