Tommy Barwick is a nurse by profession, happily gregarious with Italian heritage. Content within himself and untroubled by being bisexual, he's prone to falling in and out of bed at the drop of a pair of knickers without too many heartbreaks or much beyond laughter.
Leon Harris is a PhD student and university tutor. Introverted, uncommunicative and resistant to life beyond the soothing calm of academia, he nonetheless finds Tommy an irresistible force. However his own emotional instinct for silence quickly creates issues that risk breaking them apart.
Leon Harris is a PhD student and university tutor. Introverted, uncommunicative and resistant to life beyond the soothing calm of academia, he nonetheless finds Tommy an irresistible force. However his own emotional instinct for silence quickly creates issues that risk breaking them apart.
Nessa Kilburn is a schoolgirl struggling against parental addiction and domestic violence. Her only key to escape the dragging poverty is university. It is her over-riding goal, but for every step she takes away from her parents, she slides two back into the damage they've created. Slowly but surely, bad choice after bad choice, her world crumbles until her very life is at stake.
As the two men try to find a balance between Tommy's extroverted cheer and Leon's quiet reserve, Nessa is sliding into a helpless addiction of her own. Chance meetings come and go, barely noticed, but something keeps Tommy's attention. With one last chance left, he risks everything to show her an alternative. But is he too late? Or can the three of them work out a way to create a family of their own?
