The story looks more romantic and wonderful between Raymond and Simon in the streets of Camden City in London. Raymond is the handsome young man who will charm Simon with his character and his actions towards it. It's a unique relationship with Simon, a dedicated single mother. It seems that both will ignite pent-up feelings for a long time.
