The year 2016 has seen a seemingly high number of notable deaths with inevitable eulogies and tributes following. I wanted to write about someone completely anonymous to the world at large but who meant something to those who loved him.

I had the idea of somebody going through problems of their own glimpsing a name on a plaque on a park bench and this triggering a journey of discovery, both literal and in his own life.

The central character is a little lost and has a few issues he hasn?t faced up to but his obsession with the name on the bench forces him to address them.

We also see how this affects his relationship with his partner and discover more about his background.
