Téo Erskine might have a steady job and a brand-new London flat, but underneath the surface, he's still the boy seeking approval from his father, Vic; the young man playing late-night poker with his best friend, Ben; the one still in love with the enigmatic Lia, now a single mum to a young boy, Joel.
When the unthinkable happens, two-year-old Joel finds himself at the centre of this odd constellation of men - Téo, Vic, Ben. None of them is fully equipped to look after him, but their tentative attempts at love might just be enough to offer him a new place to call home.
