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

Wilson put the microphone in the left pocket of his jacket and, with a smile brighter than a lighthouse, signaled Reggie to take his much awaited first trophy.


So, his hair windswept, his cheeks red, and his eyes still glistening with tears, Reggie raised the shining silver trophy against high.


And the crowd greeted him with thunderous applause.


He made it. He was no longer the unknown kid from the Chicago suburbs, nor the rookie who had never won anything. From then on, the name Reggie Weston would be engraved on the base of a very big trophy.


Later Reggie posed for the photographers, still smiling his fake smile, while windblown sand stung his eyes, forcing him to fight back fresh tears.


When Mr. Wilson told the journalists it was enough, Reggie secretly thanked God.
