John Murry, an adopted relative of William Faulkner, is an alienated US musician with a history of addiction, trauma and creative burnout. His album ‘The Graceless Age’ (2013) was a success, but heroin led to his downfall. Seeking solace, he went to Ireland, where he met director Sarah Share. The documentary presents his return to the past and his attempt at renewal – repairing his relationship with his daughter, reuniting with the loved ones and a journey filled with music, literature and the spirit of Elvis Presley.
