Isaac

A powerful coming-of-age story for our times, interrogating masculinity and queerness in the digital age as well as offering a fresh take on desire and intimacy, adolescent obsession and dangerous first love.... In modern-day London, inexperienced teenager Isaac loses his virginity through a dating app - a disappointing yet addictive experience. Overwhelmed by his A-Level exams and uncertain future, he spends his last summer before university escaping into a dizzying new world of casual sex with forgettable men. Until he meets twenty-eight-year-old Harrison at a party. Isaac is immediately infatuated by the handsome, charismatic artist, but as they grow closer, his sense of self becomes increasingly hazy. Harrison''s demands shift constantly, and while Isaac tries everything to prove his worthiness, jeopardising his relationships with his mother and his best friend in the process, he must ask himself: is he complicit in his own suffering? Is Harrison the reason he has lost himself, or did he even know who he was to begin with?
