Brighton, 1961. Eighteen year old Greg is struggling to come to terms with his sexuality and to find his place in the world. He leaves home and embarks on a life driven more by chance than by choice. Through his encounters in Brighton he learns more about himself and starts to expand his horizons, but Nick remains his secret obsession. Soon he is on the run again, this time to London where he immerses himself in the vibrant scene developing in Chelsea. Clubs like the Gateways and Le Gigolo provide a kind of refuge, but homosexuality is still against the law and Greg finds he is always looking over his shoulder.
