Max, a 25-year-old aspiring writer, begins a double life as a sex worker in order to research his debut novel.

What begins as a few furtive meetings soon becomes a secret nocturnal life as his alter ego “Sebastian.” When he begins writing stories about his double life, Max finds himself with the book deal he’d been dreaming of.

In a fearless lead performance from newcomer and BIFA Nominee, Ruraridh Mollica, Max’s emotions cycle through ecstasy, shame, and exhilarating liberation.
