Colin feels trapped in life with no way out – thrown in at the deep end at work, stuck in a relationship that has run its course, losing touch with friends who have drifted apart and smothered by family pressures with endless bills to pay. Out of the corner of his eye, he notices a dim light flickers, a spark of inspiration to go on an escapade on wheels: a fantasy joyride that promises to drag himself out of the doldrums, allows him to work out a sweat and take in a breath of fresh air, if only just for a stolen moment.
