While living rough on the streets of London's East End, a young man, Dink (Milligan regular Berwick Kaler - Coronation Street, Red Riding), encounters the beautiful and mysterious Dee (Julie Shaw - The Big Switch). Concerned for Dink's welfare, she invites him to stay with her and get off the streets.The two soon develop a curious relationship which oscillates, often without warning, between sexual intimacy and raging jealousy.
