During a golf tournament in Virginia, American golfer Reggie Weston meets Russell Lee, the British former world champion in the sport. The two men hit it off when Russell takes Reggie under his wing, teaching him the tricks of the game. As their friendship deepens, Reggie finds himself falling in love with the Englishman, though he knows Russell doesn’t feel the same. He’s painfully aware of the fact that Russell isn’t gay. But there’s more to Russell than meets the eye. He’s a troubled soul, plagued by monsters in his head telling him who he should be. He’s spent most of his life hiding his sexuality from the world so he won’t disappoint his homophobic mother. Is seven days enough time for Russell to break through the years of hurt and accept the new direction fate has in store for him and Reggie?

With difficulty, Reggie could take some steps—his legs seemed to be caught in cement up to the knees—and reach Russell. But, before sitting down, he gave a quick look over at the windows, just to be sure there weren’t other imminent betrayals outside.


“Something interesting over there?”


Russell’s voice reached him, startling him.


Just your woman smooching another man…


“Uh…no, no, I thought I had seen…seen a…”


“What? A cat, maybe?” The Englishman chuckled, crossing his long legs.
