Plot

After several years of travelling abroad Alex returns to his hometown. All he has is a backpack, a skateboard and a slip of paper with an ex-girlfriend's address. When this address turns out to be an empty lot, Alex feels lost. He then moves into a neighbourhood which features an odd array of characters.
