2000 Tunes Karl Drinkwater

Mark Hopton is twenty-four, single, and obsessed with Manchester music. It's his escape into a better world.

Oh man, he needs that escape. His psycho brother's on his case and in his face, his dad's in prison, and the local gangsters are twisting his melons to make him smuggle drugs. Heaven knows he's miserable now.

His one true shining ray of hope is Samantha Rees, a gorgeous and chaotic Welsh woman who rocks his world. She is the only good thing about his dead-end job. However, Samantha is popular, living the 24 hour party people lifestyle, so Mark assumes she'd never be interested in a shy outsider like him.

But after a chance encounter leads to Mark and Samantha spending the day together in the city centre - such a perfect day - perhaps hope isn't fool's gold after all?
