Dr. Jason Phillips had always resented living in the isolated town of Carlisle, England, with its cold, rainy, long winters and small-town mentality. Working as an orthopedic surgeon in Carlisle General Hospital, dating a pretty, but dim nurse, Jason was forced to stay put in his unhappy surroundings by the lure of a large inheritance. Working on-call in casualty one night, Jason meets a twenty-year-old man who has just been hit by a motor car. Ewan P. Gallagher is an aspiring actor who is starring in a role at the local playhouse theatre. Young, fresh, talented and bold, Ewan falls for the handsome doctor at first sight, not hiding his attraction for the thirty-something-year-old single male very well. Eventually, the truth about Jason's sexual nature begins to complicate his simple life, and as a final blow, his aging aunt makes him choose between his greed and his passion.
