【一場關於愛、慾望與城市生命的狂熱交響】
 
瑪姬 30 歲,懷著孕,身無分文。面對被迫搬回當初她逃離的家鄉,瑪姬不知道和男友艾德生個孩子是否能成為最後的救贖。與此同時,艾德心中也暗暗懷抱著屬於自己的夢想。
 
菲爾厭倦了辦公室的工作,只盼著週末到來,卻也逐漸愛上了他的室友基思—但基思早已另有歸屬。菲爾的母親蘿莎琳,她厭倦在自己的人生中總像個配角。她剛被診斷出罹患癌症,正準備前往倫敦告訴菲爾—如果她能聯絡得到他的話。
 
隨著星期六夜晚逼近,在一座正站在政治動盪邊緣的城市裡,他們所有人的人生都將永遠改變。這是有紀錄以來最炎熱的夏天,而這個週末,即將開始…
 
London, June 2019. Maggie is 30, pregnant and broke. Faced with moving back to the home town she fought to escape, she’s wondering if having a baby with boyfriend Ed will be the last spontaneous act of her life. Ed, meanwhile, is harbouring secret dreams of his own.
 
Phil hates his office job and is living for the weekend, while falling for his housemate, Keith. But there’s a problem: Keith already has a boyfriend. Then there’s Rosaleen, Phil’s mother, who’s tired of feeling like a side character in her own life. She’s just been diagnosed with cancer and is travelling to London to tell Phil, if she can ever get hold of him.
 
As Saturday night approaches in a city on the brink of political upheaval, all their lives are set to change forever. It’s the hottest summer on record, and the weekend is about to begin.
