Flying free

Phillip Grier, architect and artist has told his students they should visit White Gables Hotel in order to understand the significance of urban and architectural planning. It is there he encounters Jenny who, seeking temporary accommodation, has taken her lecturer's advice. Their meeting is unusuaL He is drunk; on a bender to escape his inadequacies and obsessions, the result of a traumatic childhood. She is patently terrified at finding herself in such a disreputable place and clings to him for protection. Discovering that they were both abandoned at the same orphanage, children who were "not quite right", they form a deep bond of supportive friendship.
