With his distinctive voice and unusual view of life, Harris takes us through his story: a harrowing journey of humour, grief, resolution and redemption. Harris, as a child of five, sits underneath his house amongst the cobwebs making 'sugar' by pounding sandstone rocks into fine grains and wrapping them into bags. Harris at 17 falls in love with Helen and when a tragic accident leads to a breakdown he ends up at 'The Cottage'... Thrust up against the lives of other innocent victims, Harris begins to make sense of his own guilt, grief and the secret of his past.
Harris becomes smitten with Helen, a divorced woman with two children, who allows him to babysit her kids. While in his charge, the little girl hides in a refrigerator during a game of hide-and-seek. Devastated, Harris is sent to a house for disturbed teens, where he meets Angela. Helped by psychiatrist Sam, Harris eventually comes to terms with his demons.
