Rilke is a gay Glaswegian auctioneer who stumbles across a cache of disturbing pornographic photographs from the late 1940s while clearing the antique-stuffed house of a rich dead man. Do the photographs show what they seem to? Or are they an elaborate construct? Rilke s empathy towards the anonymous victim in these photographs develops into an obsession that takes him on a quest through every stratum of the city of Glasgow: a journey into the past that leads towards the present and some kind of truth.
