It's London, the tail end of the swinging sixties. Nick Lovell is a jobless, broke nineteen year old, and in keeping with the times, blissfully unconcerned about his prospects. When Berit Bergstrom, a model with her image plastered on nearly every double decker bus in the city, lands on his doorstep his life takes a surprising turn as she draws him into her fast paced, glamorous world. Is Nick up to the challenge... or will his self destructive impulses doom him to failure in this humorous and poignant tale of a young man's rite of passage? After migrating from Great Britain to the United States in the mid-seventies and spending fifteen years working in various aspects of the film business in New York and Los Angeles Jeremy Mitford moved to Northern California where he lives happily with his wife and two cats.
