Paul watches helplessly as his chateau burns down, then rummages through the ashes trying to retrieve his beloved lyrics book. He travels to Prague to do a life-threatening heroin detox using a little-known substance called Ibogaine, acts in the movie 24 Hour Party People which details the rise and fall of his band Happy Mondays and goes on the Frank Sidebottom show where he duets with the one and only David Soul!
