'A writers story with a little politics mixed in'
(A Writer is asked by the UK government to contribute to diverse policy ideas)
Robin James is a fiction writer with just enough income to survive. Then suddenly for no apparent reason, a small book about global warming and politics hits the big time. After endless media interviews and book signings, somebody in the government notices the book's contents and he is asked to participate with a small team of like-minded thinkers to produce a diverse program for the recovery of the U.K.'s financial and social well-being and recovery.

Robin is generally a loner, apart from the pleasure of his lady friends, his writing and his small dog Cornflake.
He finds the project far more demanding than he could have imagined, forcing him to think clearly about his political allegiances and how generating clear and practical policies, that could be acceptable to all avenues in society, really are to produce.
Throughout the project his increasing wealth allows him to be who he would truly like to be. Such periods rarely last, and he is ultimately confronted by changing thoughts and circumstances, especially in his relationships.
Fame becomes something he does not like, the forceness and stupidity of the questions and the questioners, the insincerity of it all, all be, holidays, a new car and other such pluses' coarse conflicts for him. He wanted the money without the fame, he wanted the female relationships without the complications of total, long-term commitment. He wants to receive huge royalties without all the media attention. Can he ever go back to the old days of writing his fiction and having a couple of pints of beer down at the Royal Oak?
For sure, change is a continuing process and we either resist or go with the flow of life. Certainly, Robin James had discovered through his governmental project that his opinions were changeable and that the caution displayed throughout the political machine could be dangerously resistant and inappropriate, often lacking the courage required to make the obvious changes needed and that was recognised by most people.
The question was whether he could apply those learnt lessons to his own life.
