Where do we belong? Don't we all ask that question at some time in our life? Gene O'Sullivan thought he had found it, and was three years into an early-mid-life reset, when a combined assault from his mother's boss and his daughter turned it inside-out. Chucking a career in broadcast news (and escaping a toxic marital situation), he had moved to Maui as a preacher, but this "combined assault" brings him back home to Vancouver to take over the newspaper column formerly written by his mother, who had retired. Almost immediately, he runs into that bane of a reporter's life, a crazy person with a "hot tip" involving a TV game show. Digging into the tip brings Gene into contact with his ex, drags him to Vancouver's notorious Downtown East Side, and a decade-old child-sex scandal, not to mention the glamourous and practically-his-age female host of said game show. When Gene decides there's nothing to the game show story, the tipster turns to social media to attack anyone involved, including Gene. Over-arching this is that question of where people belong and how they define it. For Gene, is his reset in need of a reset?
