An intimate hippy waltz through a university year in the 1970s.
​​
Jack arrives at Cambridge searching for direction. Instead, he finds Jo - elegant, elusive, and impossible to forget. Their brief encounter becomes the catalyst for a complex triangle involving Jo’s closest friend, Aoife, whose warmth contrasts sharply with Jo’s emotional volatility.
As Jack heals from a brutal assault, he is drawn deeper into Jo’s world: her fractured family, her unresolved grief, and the secrets she has carried since childhood. When Aoife’s unexpected pregnancy forces all three to confront the consequences of their choices, Jack must decide whether he is ready to step into a future he never imagined.
A Cambridge Affair explores identity, desire, and the tangled bonds that form when people cling to one another in moments of vulnerability.
