About
Stuart Jones has got it all. He's rich, drop-dead gorgeous and always the centre of attention. He can be forgiven the arrogance because he's pretty close to perfection. His best mate Vince Tyler is funny, adorable and definitely a babe but, unlike his friend, has zero confidence in himself. Since time began, Vince has carried a torch for Stuart but his love remains firmly unrequited. They're both 29, hitting Canal Street every night, stalwarts of the scene but just starting to wonder where else their lives may be going. Then along comes Nathan Maloney. Young, wild and coming out with a vengeance, he crowbars his way into their world and once he arrives, nothing is ever the same again.

Thursday
Canal Street, Manchester. It's Thursday and that means nineties night in the Babylon Club. Phil hasn't pulled and nor has Vince, but Vince is being followed by a muscle man. Stuart has pulled and is just getting his admirer's phone number before they all head home.

Vince and Cameron are dating, but observant Cameron is starting to figure out the unusual dynamic between Vince and Stuart. Stuart is exasperated by his parents' games.
Thirty
Stuart and Cameron throw a 'surprise' party for Vince's 30th birthday during which their rivalry escalates. Stuart has a nasty surprise to ruin the night. The marriage of convenience is also threatening to cause drama.
