Retired therapist, Jannus Rubens, lives a reclusive and isolated existence (for, frankly, that is all it could be called). He struggles with depression and his overly-reliant relationship with alcohol, and reflects on his life so far and what it has all meant. He is plagued by dreams and visions - 'dreamscapes', he calls them. They are vivid and unremitting, leading him to discovering a different Jannus; one who has been struggling to emerge for years. A letter from someone who challenges him leads Jannus to follow his curious dreams and travel towards his childhood home.
