********

Henry Wilson, Georges old college friend, chef and food critic extraordinare is in love, he thinks.

Unwilling to commit because of a random devastating event in his early life Henry is a playboy, a 'love em and leave em' type, underneath though he's actually pretty lonely.

The pink haired Sophie he met the day he and his college friends went for lunch is everything Henry thinks he wants, pretty, funny, sexy and bright.

Things are humming along until, one evening after being left hanging by the girl, Henry stays for dinner at the pub with his friends.

The stunning waiter, 'Kaine' begins to hit on Henry and the huge hulk of a man feels something stir inside.

When Henry brings Sophie back to the pub the following week the same thing happens.

Henry had been feeling 'off', and Kaines attentions are just enough to tip the scales.

Sophie begins to demand more of Henry, much more than he's willing to give, the past tragedy that he can't shake off controls his life to the point he feels he can never fully love anyone.

When Sophie pretends she's pregnant she's sent packing and Henry heads for the pub where, after a drinking spree he slips and tries to seduce the handsome Kaine, ending in a blow up of epic proportions and his expulsion from the pub.

Meanwhile Steve and Nick are staying home, Nick isn't well and he's not getting better, suddenly collapsing at home causing chaos in the family.

Henrys odd behaviour is soon forgotten as the whole family rallies around Steve and Nick.

Henry reappears a month later in the national news, having suddenly married, something he swore he'd never do.

There's a charity gala, a huge Italian man, Henry's evil boss, blackmail and some very well kept secrets, and the return of his ex, Sophie.

What the hell is going on?.
