A Pistol Shot

A world of wealth, forgery, smoke and mirrors that begins and ends in Plymouth Arts Centre. That is where Graham goes to see a film – The Duellists. That is where he meets Molly.

Graham is seduced not just by Molly but his world of shooting clubs, oligarchs and a father who will do anything to satisfy his son's obsessions. A son who, he tells Graham, is under sentence of death. Before what Graham assumes is an illness terminates his lover's life his father arranges "charades" to indulge his son's passion for danger and shepherded by the enigmatic Anna, Graham is along for the ride.

It is a far cry from what Graham expected of life – he was a trainee librarian.
