[edit] Plot summary
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
When they were teenagers, Guy Curran led a street gang around Notting Hill, and went out with Leonora Chisholm. It was he she lost her virginity to, he who she first experienced drugs with. They come from completely different backgrounds, and Leonora's parents aren't happy with the romantic pairing, hoping it will end. Eventually, of course, it does. Leonora grows up and away from Guy, but he still believes, despite everything, that she will come back to him. When it becomes clearer and clearer than this won't happen, Guy is driven to desperate measures.
