Nothing Good Happens After 2AM

Two characters, three decades: Robbie and El's fates unfold as their story takes them from California to Berlin to Tokyo.

Behind an unmarked door in an East London side street lies Love and Death, a small independent bar where Robbie Saunders and El Tippett are cocktail-making stars on the rise. As the London club scene explodes around them, Robbie and El hone their passion – wary of each other despite an undeniable connection, regardless of the differences in their backgrounds, their attitude to the bar and their ambitions.

And yet, even as their lives take them in opposite directions and away from the bar and its idiosyncratic owner, Robbie and El are drawn and redrawn into one another’s orbits, running into each other across the world.

When – entirely unexpectedly – the pair take over the failing Love and Death together, can they put aside past professional betrayals and personal entanglements to make it successful once more? Or will they burn the whole thing to the ground, dragging each other down in flames too?
