    • Möglicherweise war es nicht Anders' beste Idee, sich auf der Weihnachtsparty der Ashbys sinnlos zu betrinken. Oder mit deren halbwüchsigem Sohn Charlie Drogen zu nehmen. Aber die Begegnung mit seiner Exfrau und ihrem neuen Partner, ausgerechnet ein gemeinsamer Freund aus Studienzeiten, setzt Anders mehr zu als gedacht, und so endet die Party im Eklat. Dabei hatte er gehofft, dass seine Scheidung eine Befreiung aus einem Leben voller Zwänge sein würde. Was für eine Täuschung. Er bereut seine Entscheidung und will sein altes Leben zurück, doch dort hat niemand auf ihn gewartet. Dann passiert eine Katastrophe, und Anders wird gezwungen, sich seinen zertrümmerten Illusionen zu stellen.
