Jim, an isolated ex-miner who works as a night-shift security guard
faces his last day at work before retirement. He spends the night
patrolling the slag heap of a former coal mine - a remnant of
Scotland's industrial past. The film explores the intrinsic relation
of an individual to work and asks what's left when, at the end of a
lifetime of labour, a man loses his purpose.
