The Dream Children

Liam McIntyre,Daniel Reader

Although a high rating TV personality by day, Steven Evan's life is crumbling. Suffocated by his high profile existence, his only respite is in shallow sexual encounters with the people who orbit his life. When his long-term partner hurls him into fatherhood, Steven's initial reluctance is gradually replaced with love as he discovers a bond stronger than any he's experience before. But the return of an unexpected visitor triggers off a series of events that thrusts Steven and his family into a cycle of loneliness, self-destruction and grief.—Marc Opitz
