In Soho, Paul Salmon, co-producer of a disastrous film, is on the hunt for his next project, mingling with women and avoiding cocaine. Meanwhile, in Pontypool, Dr. Jane Feverfew struggles with her eccentric students, a troublesome ex, and her decision to move to a country where she can't even spell her son's school. At the annual Cymru-Wales Oscar ceremony in Cardiff, the local cultural elite sip Australian cava while scheming about next year's EU grants. Jane, who hasn't had sex in two years, finds herself in a barren dating landscape, with only a playful online flirtation to spark her interest. In a moment of desperation, she posts a mock screenplay on ResistYoof.com, which catches Paul's attention. He resorts to deceit and manipulation to get the film greenlit as a Welsh epic while pursuing Jane, who reveals her hidden dreams of being a cheerleader or actress. As ambition and misunderstandings escalate, Jane plunges into the chaotic world of actors and agents, where loyalty is fleeting, and danger lurks. Amidst the chaos of Soho's drug-fueled scene, Jane realizes too late that salvation may come from the most unexpected places. This fourth novel by James Hawes takes readers on a comedic journey through the eccentricities of Wales and the tumultuous Soho film industry.
