London today - a world of sex, drugs and designer clothes, where Robert searches for fulfilment in gay clubs. London 50 years ago - Michael enters a secret queer underworld, negotiating the dangers of law and the closet. Two parallel narratives - two generations - two worlds that barely recognise each other. But do Robert and Michael have more in common than they think?
