Martin, an Irishman teaching in Paris, takes a break from married life and teaching to try and deal with his sexual confusion and residual PTSD from leaving a religious order. He travels, guilt-ridden, from place to place until he arrives in Rome and meets Hilary, a rent boy in his twenties. They begin a whirlwind affair. Martin’s wife Sarah sets out to find him… Christy, an Irish trad musician, meets Hilary in London… Sarah has a fling with Ella, a Parisian work colleague. And then a fatwa is pronounced on proceedings. Never, now, will you ride your sleekit horse…
