Mark Boyle embarks on an extraordinary journey to disconnect from modern technology and reconnect with the natural world. Living without electricity, running water, or any of the conveniences of contemporary life, he chronicles his attempt to forge a more authentic existence in rural Ireland.

This is a profound meditation on what we've lost in our rush towards progress and what might be gained by stepping away from it. Boyle doesn't simply romanticise a return to simpler times; he grapples honestly with the challenges, discomforts, and unexpected rewards of living closer to the land. His insights into our relationship with nature, community, and ourselves offer a thought-provoking challenge to conventional assumptions about what constitutes a good life.
