Dillon, Thomas, Booth-Steel & Vick in Soho EX

An unlikely couple: Ruby (Booth-Steel) is funny and gawkily attractive, Jack (Vick) a bit of a scruff but cocky. When they were together she let him walk all over her, but now Ruby looks great, is full of confidence and has a new lover, Keith (Thomas), with whom she is about to emigrate to America. But will her feelings for Jack return when she decides to meet him one last time? And will Jack abandon his new love, the feisty and beautiful Claire (Dillon)?
