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

With a nod, Reggie shrugged. “I know I’m stupid not to be grateful enough that I won the tournament. But I really can’t enjoy this moment.”


“You’re right,” the woman agreed. “You arestupid.”


She continued, “You’re stupid, but you realize it. That’s a good starting point.” she raised her glass to her lips and sipped her drink.


Suddenly Mr. Wilson approached, interrupting them. “Vivian. Were you chatting with our young champion?”


“So it seems, Walter,” she said drily.


Reggie couldn’t help but smile. And then Vivian nodded at him before Mr. Wilson guided her away.


“Are you worried because he won?” he heard Mr. Wilson quietly ask.


“Walter, I worry about other things,” she replied seriously.


Half a second after, Carlos arrived. “I think you drank too much, tonight,” he said with an authoritative tone.


“Maybe you’re right,” Reggie admitted.
