It's about the power of art to transform lives and the power of families to destroy them. It s about working out who you are and what you want.

London. Shy, working-class Steven finds solace in beauty. Eighteen years old, he dreams of being a fashion designer.

He is also gay, maybe he hasn't decided yet. There's a lot Steven isn't sure about, like whether he hates himself or thinks he s amazing. When he ends up in hospital after being brutally attacked by his father, he meets Jasmine, an heiress.

Intoxicating, anarchic, fabulous Jasmine. Fuelled by their shared love of fashion, a friendship blossoms and soon, Steven finds himself swept into her hedonistic world, wholly beguiled. However, underneath the glitter and the frivolity, darkness lies.

It s a tale of giddy happiness, crushing lows and, ultimately, the fragility of lives lived too fast.
