In a gripping debut set during a record-breaking heatwave in London, a group of interconnected characters navigates their desires and secrets over a transformative weekend. As temperatures soar, a whale becomes trapped in the Thames, mirroring the characters' own struggles.

Ed, a bike courier, yearns for a fresh start with Maggie and their baby, while hiding a complicated past involving hookups with strangers and a connection to Maggie’s best friend, Phil. Phil, who drifts through his mundane office job, is on the verge of his first serious relationship with his roommate, Keith, as they share an illegal warehouse commune filled with creative spirits—the site of a life-changing party. As the heat intensifies, Maggie, Ed, and Phil confront their intertwined histories and aspirations, facing the realities of their futures. This poignant and humorous narrative offers a vivid exploration of the challenges young adults face in building their lives amidst political and financial obstacles, all while seeking meaning in their evenings and weekends.
