Stuart Mailing is a decent man in his 30's who lives his life quietly and with honour as he explores the waterways of the UK on his vintage narrow boat. Bisexual, Stuart has had affairs with both men and women, but nothing could have prepared him for this chance encounter with a rather precocious young teenage boy who was riding his bike along the towpath. Needless to say, both their lives were turned upside down as young Tom pulls every trick in the book to seduce Stuart, whilst Stuart;- obviously attracted to Tom, does everything in his power to resist his advances. Who will win? Who has the most willpower? Will love find a way?
