Sinossi
Giovane, gay, William Beckwith trascorre il suo tempo e il suo fondo fiduciario, girovagando oziosamente per Londra alla ricerca di incontri erotici. Quando salva la vita di un uomo anziano in un bagno pubblico, si presenta un'improbabile opportunità di lavoro: l'uomo, Lord Nantwich, sta cercando un biografo. Will accetta di dare un'occhiata ai diari di Nantwich. Ma nella storia che svela, una tragedia della repressione gay del ventesimo secolo, si nascondono amare verità sull'esistenza privilegiata di Will.
