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?

Seven Days

“Why? I think this is bad, isn’t it?” Reggie chuckled and looked away.


“Well, don’t go telling Lee his partner is having an affair with another man,” Carlos suggested.


“Of course not. But just knowing it makes me feel nervous,” he murmured, putting the two halves of the napkin next to each other.


Carlos rubbed his head and shook it a couple times. “This won’t end well…”


“Yeah,” Reggie sighed, before standing up.


Reggie’s ball ended up in the water again at the seventeenth hole, and at the twelfth, he lost a stroke for hitting the ball into a sand bunker.


Despite this, he scored many birdies, which allowed him to end the round in sixty-five strokes, not only making the cut, but also ending in fourth place. Alone.


At the top of the leaderboard were Russell and a South African named Tovey.
