Never after

On the grim streets of London, a young man succumbs to his demons. Discarded by his lover and left penniless and alone, Michael 'Micha' Dashwood uses sex to pay the bills and opium to numb the pain. When a sudden illness strikes, all seems lost. But hope finds Micha in the shape of the Reverend Thomas Mandeville. Haunted by grief of his own, Thomas cannot bear to ignore another man's plight. He brings the ailing Micha home to heal in his parish at Nettlefield. As Micha recovers under Thomas's care, he begins to realize that some people in this world are worthy of trust. Thomas, in turn, learns the truth of his own needs and desires. Between the secrets of the past and the burdens of the present, their future together seems impossible. Questions of faith and the shadow of opium continue to haunt them both. Yet possibilities, like miracles, can be found wherever you look for them.
