Who is this stranger, how does he know Jack and what does he want? The mother has not seen Jack for over 10 years yet she seems unhappy about this man's intrusion. Why is she not more welcoming? The father longs to hear the news of Jack and invites the stranger to stay for dinner. Things begin to unravel when he is introduced to Amy, a subdued young girl who is Jack's illegitimate daughter and the reason we are told Jack ran away those years ago. But now even darker family secrets emerge about the real reason Jack left and as accusations start to fly the true identity of the young man comes clear... and why has he come back home. Does he have the strength to stop history repeating itself once more?

Dougie is a 46 year-old Glaswegian Debt Collector who's seen and done it all. Dougie is also a Buddhist committed not just to clearing up unpaid bills but spiritual debts too. Gabriel is a skinny, sallow 18 year-old that you would probably write off as a waster but really is a young man with unrecognised potential. Now he's got a job interview with Dougie and is given a day's trial to prove he can cut it..and see if Dougie thinks him a worthy apprentice. If your idea of a first day at work involves picking up dog shite; listening to Dougie's Buddhist theories on life and love; sharing an 'office' which turns out to be a cupboard in a pub, complete with carpet, kettle and a Buddhist shrine and being ordered to find a replacement kidney for Willy the gnarled old barman, then Gabriel's and Dougie's story will seem like your average cowboy adventure. An ice box, a Stanley knife, a wanking postman, and Gabriel's nifty footwork with a donor card later, and the young apprentice has got the job! Dougie thinks he could be the yin to his yang. The Karma Cowboys are born.
