Stanley finds himself in prison for a crime that he believes that he didn’t commit. After many years in solitary confinement, he begins to talk to his comedy heroes from the past as each one tries to help him remember what he’s done.

Stanley becomes desperate to learn the truth about what happened to his daughter and what lead to having this ordinary life he has already dreamed of.

Award winning actor Timothy Spall plays all the characters in Stanley’s hallucinations; from the flamboyant Noel Coward to the grotesque Max Wall to the ukulele king George Formby, to Egor in a Transylvanian castle.
