AKA is the story of a disaffected youth's search for love status and identity in late 1970s Britain. 18-year old Dean is handsome and bright but feels hampered by his working-class background and by his family which includes a sexually abusive father. In order to make something of himself Dean assumes another identity and manages to enter high society. As he navigates this decadent new world he meets a host of characters including David an older gay man who desires him and Benjamin a young hustler from Texas who has also managed to find a place among the aristocracy. Can Dean find love while living a lie? How much is he willing to sacrifice in order to pull off his charade? Presented through three simultaneous frames rather than one.
