Lou is a dashing disaster in a crumpled suit, a former darling of high society now reduced to a life of hustling in the East End, where his gambling debts have turned him into a reluctant gigolo. With his pockets as empty as his father’s patience, he’s learned to navigate the streets with a mix of charm and unbound recklessness, all while dreaming of the olden days when he could afford more than just a cup of tea. Convinced that somewhere between the hustling and the shady cobblestones lies a chance for redemption—or at least a free drink. After all, if life gives you lemons, why not write a sonnet about them?
