Sonny is a single man, a disillusioned deli-chef, drifting towards forty.

He hasn’t been sleeping well. Has too much on his mind. Money being the main worry. Caring for his demanding elderly father who has Parkinson’s… Not seeing enough of his teenage children or being able to provide for them…

When he is asked to be a plus-one as a favour for his boss, his life takes an unexpected turn. Into the murky world of male escorting.

Before long, the reluctant Sonny is earning money beyond his wildest dreams.

But for how long will he be able to keep his side hustle secret? And can money ever be the key to happiness, or does it
just unlock other doors?

Full of humour and pathos, PLUS ONE charts one man’s determination to change his and his children’s lives for good. His way.
