Is a year and a half enough to turn friendship into love?
Davey Bloom - twenty-five, newly single, and awkward as a cow on a crutch - has something to prove to himself and his family. When he accepts a job secondment to move halfway across England for eighteen months, no one, not even he himself, is convinced that he'll manage on his own for that long.
Enter his new flatmate Rob, who is steady, funny, dependable and pretty much perfect - whose life just isn't in the right place for a relationship just now. Suddenly a year and a half in Liverpool just isn't enough.
Is Davey's attraction for Rob all one-sided, or is there the potential for something more? And what does this mean for his resolution to be his own person, and stop to relying so much on others?
Is there enough time for something to bloom between them? Or are those feelings destined to wither on the vine?
