It’s 1966 and the world is changing.

​

But for some, it’s exactly as it always has been.

​

Mick Macdonald is in a rut. He hauls furniture around London, helping families start their new adventures while his own life stagnates. Days and nights fade into each other, brightened only by his occasional visits to his favourite Soho nightclub. In Le Duce, he can dance to the freshest soul music while flirting freely with gorgeous men in smart suits.

​

Michael Prentiss has had his heart broken before and is too old and too jaded to risk it again. Loving Mick from afar with no chance of his feelings being returned may be a sad way to live, but at least it’s safe.

​

When a tragic event lands Mick on Michael’s doorstep soaked to the bone with all his worldly belongings in a battered suitcase, Michael doesn’t hesitate to offer him the help he needs. But having Mick in his home as well as his heart, makes it harder to keep his secret. Sometimes, Mick looks at him softly, or touches him gently and Michael dares to dream that his feelings might be mutual.

Can two lonely men find love in a world that would condemn them for their feelings?
