PLOT Writer Adam (Scott) returns to his childhood home, only to find his dead parents still living there. Meanwhile, he meets an alluring stranger (Mescal).
ON THE SOFA of an evening, Adam (Andrew Scott), a sweet and lonely man in his forties, watches old Top Of The Pops episodes from the 1980s, planting himself in the past, feeding himself biscuits. Opening the fridge, he surveys the remnants of a Chinese takeaway. Comfort food abounds. God knows, this man needs comfort. Some soon arrives, via the only other person living in this London tower block, the equally lonely Harry (Paul Mescal). Both crave connection.
