Danny Thorn has enrolled at Billings College, Cambridge. After the tragic events of his unsettling past, including the death of this father, Danny was happy to blend in at university. But his involvement in a production of Othello opposite the beguiling Stella sees Danny drawn into the hedonistic lifestyle of university. On the surface it may seem enviable, but right now Danny can see little to be jealous of. While Stella doesn’t seem to be interested in him, his ex, Julie, won’t leave him alone. But as the term progresses, getting a date for the May Ball will be the least of his worries.
