Frank Walsh is just twelve when he enters a Roman Catholic seminary to fulfil his dream of becoming a missionary priest in Africa. Nine years later, having lost his faith, he makes an unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide, leaves the seminary and returns home. With the help of Sally, the girl next door, he recovers from depression and starts to feel ‘normal’ again, especially sexually. After university, he leaves home – and Sally – to live in London. There he tries to escape the ghosts of his past and fulfil his dream of being a writer.
