Errol Thomas has a tortured soul, always has had. Errol is out of rehab and is set on world domination. His record label is only too happy to pull his puppet strings to get him to the top of the soul music charts. But it comes at a price, a price Errol doesn't find out until it is too late. He seeks solace in a local candle maker's shop where Jane, the owner listens to tales of woe. When Ivory walks into the shop that has been his home away from home for over ten years, he is knocked sideways. It's only when he meets Ivory that he vows to keep his sobriety promise. Just when Errol is on an even keel, falling in love with Ivory, her past comes knocking to reveal her secrets. In turn, his cover story at the label starts to unravel. Will Errol be able to keep focussed on the end game or will he be collateral damage? Red & Black have their own issues to deal with and become involved with Errol's music career even if they don't want to.
