Africa

Julie was an unsuitable girlfriend for Mikey. Unfortunately, even since their split, he can’t get her out of his head. So, when he comes across her drunk and alone at a bus-stop, he takes her home, only to find that none of her habits have changed, especially her willingness to clamber into bed with almost anyone. Mikey tries to concentrate on his future and his career, but even when he’s decided to leave Julie and her world behind him, there is still one last secret for Julie to reveal.
