Chris only wants three things out of life: money ... success ... and a soulmate.
Money, because he is frustrated by the things he would like constantly being thrust in his face, tormenting him, such as a nice house, nice car, nice holidays, but he can't afford any of them.
Success, because he is very competitive and knows he could be really good at something, such as athletics, rally driving, or academic study, but could he shine brightly enough at any of them?
A soulmate, because he knows he couldn't achieve any of these without the total support of a like-minded girlfriend, who would stick with him throughout, but can he find the right one?
He knows a true soulmate would help bring mutual success and the money would follow. Hence his fastidious search, which develops into a convoluted conundrum he has to solve.
Forty-Two Days to Dream Away is set in the late 1970s and follows Chris's efforts to kickstart his stalled trek through the university system. Can he get back on track and realise his ambitions, both professional and personal? Can he realistically succeed at both, or will his lack of experience preclude him from coping with the ensuing complex, conflicting situations?
