Jonathan Carey, a youth worker at a London drop-in centre for the unemployed, finds himself drawn to Stewart, a man involved with a strange gang in which sex is as important as crime. Can Jonathan save Stewart from the dark allure of the criminal underworld?
Graduate Jonathan Carey works with unemployed young men in a drop in centre, a result of an initative of his own, in North London. The young men are boisterous and adventurous, and gradually explore activities amongst themselves which begin to raise questions with the Local Council. Jonathan, who has just come out of a long term relationship with another man, finds himself attracted to one sullen wayward boyish young man, Stewart, who gets himself involved with a local gang. This is basically a very tender love story, interspersed with plenty of erotic sex including several seductions, an attempted prison rape, and an initiation ceremony. Sometimes the sexual activity seems out of place, and there is a little preaching about safe sex, but it is well handled, and what comes through is the genuine companionship and camaraderie of the young men, and the awakening love between the two main characters.
