A love story of sorts, Jack Moore is a famous radio DJ in late 1970’s Britain. Whilst his public persona is one thing, in reality, his private life is a car-crash. Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, Marcus Thurston, is a gullible, angst-ridden school boy, growing up in Thatcher’s Britain. He’s also Jack’s no. 1 Fan.
For decades, their stories run simultaneously, in parallel though entirely independently of each-other until one day, entirely by chance, their paths cross and both their lives are changed forever. An ’Odd Couple’ for the modern age, it’s a story about friendship, regret and the importance of second chances.

A man once afraid to even dream small, starts out on the road to a cautious re-discovery of the world around him, confronting his fantastical fears and eventually finding a place in his heart for love.
