A riveting character study of one man's conflict between his repressed sexuality and a passionate love for another man, this uncompromising look at sexual identity and the bonds of friendship powerfully traces the tumultuous journey towards self-acceptance. Handsome and macho David (Steve John Shephard) is a construction worker in South London visiting Soho for casual sexual encounters as he is unable to admit to himself or anyone else that he is gay, not even to his very straight best mate Theo (John Simm) whom he secretly loves for years. It takes an appearance on a TV show to set David on the road to accepting himself and to telling the world that he is, indeed, gay.
