The Honeytrap
1950's London. Felix Stone is an openly gay P.I. He is approached by a mysterious woman who pays him to shadow her husband.

The Deluded
1949. The East End of London is still recovering from the blitz. Fitzgerald O'Sullivan is a young man with romantic notions of living like an impoverished writer. In an attempt to escape his past, he abandons his life of privilege and rents a room in the East End. There he meets Roy Parker, a chirpy Cockney with a working-class charm. Roy asks Fitz to write a story about how he saved the lives of two Jewish ladies during the war. What follows is a far-fetched tale filled with lies and exaggerations. This is is a noir thriller where nothing is what it seems. A dark tale of love, bitterness and vengeance set in the chaotic aftermath of the Second World War.

He is an embarrasement to his parents, a useless layabout who is constantly getting arrested for cruising the parks. But his vices pale in comparison with the dark secrets in his parents' lives. The kidnapping of Henry's stepfather triggers a series of events which expose the skeletons in his parents' closets and which finally give Henry the chance to step up to the mark and show what he's really made of.
