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

“Well, yes…I feel a little better than yesterday,” he admitted, shrugging. “Still very tired, though.”


“Come on, we’re just halfway through of this hellish day.” She chuckled as she walked off the set, swaying on her stiletto heels. “Follow me into the next room for our little interview.”


“Should I change first?” he asked, indicating the screen his clothes were behind.


“If you wish. That outfit is a gift from your sponsor. You can keep it.”


Reggie’s jaw dropped with surprise. His old life really seemed to be over.


When Carlos saw Reggie coming, he jumped up from the sofa.


Reggie let out a snigger. “I can’t wait to shower and get rid of all this gel and makeup.”


“Don’t even think about it,” Carlos protested with a shake of his head. “Russell Lee has to see you like this. He’ll regret pushing you away.”


Embarrassment spread over Reggie’s face. Was this really what his new image transmitted? Regret, you who dumped me?
