Standing at the altar waiting to be confirmed The Boy stares at the bishop, says No, and runs from the church in his small Irish village. Having that day discovered his father whom he never knew is not dead after all, he sets out to find him. Thus begins a journey across a Europe in the grip of terrorist attacks, the journey a metaphor for his passage from boyhood to maturity, questioning everything and finding his way through each experience and encounter.
