Olly is lost in a world of sexual confusion; forced to look after his deaf-mute brother Chris for the day, Olly discovers that not only does Chris have gay feelings too, but is more comfortable with them than he is. But no one has a darker story than Pete, who is being stalked by Carol, a woman looking for her son – a man Pete knew from his violent drug days. They begin a treacherous journey to find an almost forgotten suitcase. Connections are made or missed and longed-for families brought together for a moment of hope. ReviewsAintitcool.com
