Mike Carter is a 'Jack the Lad'. Life is
a game of 'beer and skittles', and marriage
and its associated responsibilities of fatherhood
are not on his agenda
However, life has the habit of throwing up
the occasional cruel hand, and one of these
is dealt unexpectedly to Mike. On a visit
to the Doctor, he is told he has cancer, 'the
big C', and although he tries to carry on
as he has before, he begins to realise that
there is more to life than 'pints of beer
and pulling birds'.
Through his adversity Mike faces up to his
own mortality. A deeper appreciation of life
is awakened in him as he seeks out the one
person who can make him happy. |
