“Therapy is for lunatics and losers” is Marc’s opinion until he finds himself at couples’ therapy struggling with his wife, his life … and a hangover.

After sleepwalking through midlife-complacency in Copenhagen, his wife’s affair with her boss kickstarts 16 hangovers in 16 chapters of drinking, dating, rock’n’roll and a devastating sense of loss.

Linda is Marc’s best friend and an empowered but chronically single children’s tv-host. She challenges Marc’s preconceived notions of relationships, gender roles and sex from the other end of the relationship-spectrum. A parallel quest for love ensues. A drunken tango with Tinder and tradition, dick pics and deliberation, set in the afterglow of Marc’s career in rock music.
