In the fall of 1966, London, England, was the epicenter of the new youth-culture as defined by drugs, rock-n-roll, free love, and liberal political activism. Clark Westfield arrived there to spend his junior year of college at the University of London. He had two simple goals: have exciting international adventures and finally lose his virginity. But he never imagined what it would cost him - emotionally and physically.
