Barrington Walker appears to have everything he could want: a wife, children, grandchildren, and a respected place in his Hackney community. But for sixty years, he has kept a secret: his enduring romantic relationship with his best friend, Morris. As Barrington navigates the demands of family life and the truth he has never shared, he must confront what it means to live openly and choose his own happiness.
