Synopsis:

5 of a Kind is an adventure of friendship, love, deception, betrayal, and self discovery.

As Canadian backpacker Evan passes through Birmingham his life is turned upside down by Brit boys Sean, Roger, David, and Mike.

Evan's friendship with Sean deepens and strains as he helps Sean with both school work and Sean's acceptance of his sexuality, alongside guidance from Roger.

Roger not only assists Sean in understanding himself, but, through Evan learns the truth about his ex, David.

David must endeavour to keep his secrets from Roger and especially Evan, as his relationship with Evan develops. This gets more complicated with the sudden appearance of his mate Mike.

Mike's appearance, along with his homophobic attitude, forces Evan to choose between his love for David and his friendship with Sean.

Meanwhile, Sean himself must deal with the fallout of being outed back in his home town, which includes accepting both sides of his bisexuality

In this story based on real life events from May 2005.
