Nick Guest comes to London to live with his college friend's family, the Feddens. A short stay becomes permanent, and Nick positions himself in the family's plentiful lives of parties and politics during the Thatcher years. Over the course of three episodes spanning four years in the mid-eighties, we follow Nick's two homosexual love affairs in a time of promiscuity and carelessness, until the AIDS crisis and a bout of scandal threaten life as he has come to know it.
Nick Guest comes to London to stay with the Feddens, devours their rich lifestyle, and falls in love.
Nick enjoys life with the Feddens, has an affair with his pretty-boy business partner, and dances with the prime minister.
The AIDS crisis comes close for Nick, and a public scandal casts his life with the Feddens in a different light.
