As he considers this idea to be illogical, he concentrates instead on his two passions - his work and sailing. A perfectionist in the office, he has always kept his head down and paid little attention to his colleagues.

What follows is a journey of discovery, where Jack learns more than he would ever wish to know about his colleagues and along the way he stumbles into romance.
