The coastal settlement of Slangkop, near Cape Town, comes alive
over weekends when mercurial Chas Fawkes holds court at Midden
House. Invited to one of his legendary parties, shy, plump
librarian Nina Browne is smitten and becomes first his secretary,
then his lover. But things are not as they seem on the glittering
surface, as Nina in turn is loved and watched over by Chas’s
childhood playmate, the hermit-like environmentalist William. When
Chas’s estranged alcoholic wife Dolly briefly returns, she steals
William’s savings and leaves behind a different treasure – her baby
son, Oro. In a gentler, more innocent way than Chas, young Oro is a
catalyst in the Slangkop community. William is forced out of his
seclusion and proves a surprisingly good stand-in dad. William is
still desperate to win Nina’s heart, but how, when she is so caught
up in Chas’s slipstream? As the inhabitants of this eccentric
seaside community orbit around Chas and his increasingly desperate
crises, sex raises questions that love must help them answer.
