___________

West London, 1958. 73 Dove Street is a shabby house in a shabby street.
But this boarding houses attic room suits newcomer Edie Budd very well.
Its somewhere to hide.

Tommie, on the second floor, is up in Soho every night.
Theres a man shes pursuing
whether he wants her or not.

Landlady Phyllis has thrown out her cheating husband.
Shes burned his belongings in the street.
Sometimes theres no going back.

Three survivors living under one roof.
Each alone nursing their secret hurts and hopes.
Because opening your heart could save or destroy you . . .

___________
