This is the story of a young man in his thirties who reflects on what he has become, whereas in his memories he was a nice kid. Is he a good person or not, in the end? Do his actions, sometimes glorious, sometimes much less so, or even not at all, make him a nice guy or a scumbag? Unless one can be both.
