Leaving Metropolis

David is a painter whose success has brought him fame, money and insulation from the life experiences that inspired him to paint. When he decides he needs to get out in the world again, he takes a job as a waiter at a small café. The last thing he expects to do is fall in love with Matt, the co-owner of the café. Leaving Metropolis is about the effect of their affair on the women in their lives. Shannon and Kryla are David's best friends. Shannon is an hiv- positive transsexual waiting for her final operation. Kryla is a refugee from several failed relationships who resents David's new love. Violet is Matt's wife. Love, hate, life and death - all have a place in this contemporary story about a group of thirty-something urbanites.
