Gifted guitarist Alex Dunbar has fuelled his music and his life through the crazy 1970s with psychedelic drugs. At a legendary festival outside Munich, one trip too far stops him in his tracks. Ever since he has suffered from drug-induced psychosis ... and from terrible guilt after the brutal death of his lover at the festival. Apparently at his own hands. Alex can’t really remember and has spent years in therapy at Gut Betzing in provincial Bavaria. A blow to the head leaves him with brain trauma and, as he lies in hospital, his memories return. With Ben, a young Punk who has Tourette’s, and Willi, a giant of a man with the nature of a child, Alex sets off on a turbulent journey into the past. The old hippy in his multi-coloured pillbox hat leads this bizarre trio, enlisting the help of his therapist as they unpick the tangle of dreams and real memories to get to the truth. Was Alex Dunbar the murderer?
