Efter ett smärtsamt sammanbrott står Michael mitt i spillrorna av sitt gamla liv – en kraschad relation, förlorade drömmar och en identitet i upplösning. I sökandet efter sig själv tvingas han möta barndomens sår, rädslan för att bli övergiven och den förtärande kraften i svartsjuka. Under resan utforskar han hur tidiga anknytningsmönster präglar våra vuxna relationer – och hur de, steg för steg, kan börja läkas. Genom djup sorg, oväntad kärlek och smärtsamma insikter väcks hoppet – och en längtan efter att leva sant, modigt och närvarande.
