He plays the field. Then he meets, plain, meek Alice Baines, who confronts him with a life-changing proposition. But there is a condition. Will Danny agree to it? If so can he still chase Irene?
Timid Alice has secrets that lie hidden. Is she really what she seems?
For Danny life becomes complicated. His mother reads the cards, but can she see what is in store for The Drifter?
