However, Philip is plagued by the lack of a son, and one day, kicks out his whole family.
After suffering from loneliness and losing all his work, Philip's childhood friend Michael comes to his rescue and offers him a bookkeeping job. Philip keeps Henry, an aspiring guitarist, as a paying guest at his house.
