Overview
The film follows the travels and accounts of Mark Chapman (Jonas Ball) and gives the watcher an insight into his mind.

He seeks refuge in the public library where he finds the book, 'The Catcher in the Rye'. He becomes obsessed with the book and believes that he himself is the protaganist in the book, Holden Caulfield.
