A sequel to Philip Terrys Dantes Inferno (2014), where Dante relocates to the University of Essex, here the action shifts from Dantes Island of Purgatory to Mersea Island, in Essex still, where the poet and his guide Ted Berrigan climb a mountain made out of Flexible Rock Substitute (FRS). Dantes artists are replaced with contemporary artists and artists-in-residence on the Essex Alp, including Grayson Perry, Rachel Whiteread and Damien Hirst. Hirst, an example of pride, is encountered not carrying a rock on his back, as in Dante, but carrying a washing-machine, a Siemens Avantgarde, which runs through its spin cycle as he carries it. Other characters encountered include Christopher Marlowe, Boris Johnson, Lady Diana, Jean Paul Getty, Hilary Clinton, Allen Ginsberg, Samuel Beckett, Martin McGuinness, Ciaran Carson and Anoushka S hankar. On the final terrace, the poet, accompanied by Berrigan and poet Tim Atkins, passes through a wall of flames to reach Dantes Paradise, here modelled on the Eden Project, where the poet meets his Beatrice, Marina Warner. The poem comes to a climax with an interview with Marina Warner in the LRB Tent, followed by a gig from the Pogues, for which Shane MacGowan has been brought up from Hell on an Arts Council Exceptional Talent scheme.

The first-person narrator Micha recounts in anecdotes what happened to him in particular during the 80s and 90s. Since he feels part of the punk scene, the experiences associated with it are often in the foreground. It is a world full of excessive alcohol consumption, wild parties and all-nighters, weird and forbidden actions, police interrogations, unemployment and various jobs. Be it a mysterious driving assignment in which he puts himself in danger, or the fact that he wakes up in the park at night during a vacation and sees a gun pointed directly at him Micha recounts what happened from his perspective, but does not skimp on vulgar expressions and the description of sometimes absurd situations.
