"Tobi, this is the story of how you got your smile . . ."

Who made a mess of Tobi's face? Three lovers, one act of violence, but who is responsible? A dental surgeon's grotesque facial injuries leave everyone guessing who did it in this 90's London noir. This compelling psychological drama pounds the streets of Hackney where guilt and survival are top of the take-away menu. Two men, with two truths, buried deep inside their damaged minds; you are about to read the story of how Tobi got his smile and only you can decide on a guilty verdict.

London's recession hit urban decay provides the backdrop to our journey through the underground art scene, with its DIY exhibitions and warehouse night clubs. We meet a wonderfully dysfunctional group of friends whose lives intertwine through love, lust, business, betrayal, birth and death, each in their own way, haunted by Tobi's smile.
