Pop's personal failings have led him to believe he has an evil twin, the doppleganger Iggy, who controls his destiny... From his room in the Kia Ora Nursing Home, he relates the significant events of his life to his son, Ossie, an androgynous poet who has an interest in psychogeography, as well as a desire to avenge dead Mama. As he listens to the story, Ossie discovers more darkness in Pop's life than he expects... In the world outside the Home, Ossie is a Pub Poet, who performs regularly at the Portwine and Shot Tower in front of modest audiences, and hecklers. This reality collides with that of his father and doppleganger Iggy, as revealed by Pop's American correspondent, the drug addict Rockwell Lewis Jordan... Kia Ora is not all it seems, its corridors the location of occult practice - burning candles, malign effigies and geriatric games. Ossie has to interpret the signs, as well as understand the influence Iggy Pop might be exerting on his own life... Who is controlling who?
