25-year-old, football-obsessed Jack Scott is living in his family home in Fulham, London, and is at crisis point in his life. His mother Stella died two years ago and Jack has a fraught relationship with his father Richard. Jack wanted - and narrowly failed - to become a professional footballer, and now wants to revisit a desire to be a writer and stand-up comedian, but since Stella's death he's been emotionally and psychologically stuck. Although Jack supports Chelsea, he loves Barcelona and Lionel Messi. He also idolises Johan Cruijff and is a big fan of Albert Einstein, because of an extraordinary childhood discovery that brought together E=mc2 and Jack's beloved Chelsea F.C.

Because the alternative doesn't bear thinking about...
