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

The phone screen turned off. So Russell wouldn’t be picking him up at the airport. A feeling of disappointment enveloped Reggie. He’d imagined walking down the escalator to find Russell waiting for him in front of the exit, just like in the sappiest rom-coms. He put his phone away and fastened his seatbelt, hoping at least it would be only the two of them.


The idea of ending up in a Hollywood-style villa, full of people he didn’t know who drank, had fun, and stole Russell’s attention, was a punch in the gut. But then again, he was going to England, not California, and couldn’t guess what would happen in a few hours.


He shut his eyes and firmly grabbed the arms of his chair. He hated to fly.
