Chapter 1: In which an art student meets a poet

21-year-old Paul McCartney, who has recovered from a mental breakdown due to stress and his mother's sudden, unexpected death, has recently moved to London where he now rents a cheap flat with his friend George. Having needed to give up his medicine studies, he has decided to start over and go to art college instead where he meets the rude and troublesome John Lennon, a young poet, who, much to Paul's dismay, also happens to be his neighbour.
