The Beach is the only nightclub in town, a bright yellow cuboid on the docks. For most people it is a place to drink, flirt and hook up. Most people grow out of The Beach; they leave town, have families and pursue careers.
Arthur is not most people.
For Arthur The Beach is a sanctuary: a place where he can go every night to express himself, a place where he can make friends, a place where he can be somebody.
By day, Arthur is a loner. Shy and awkward, he fails at relationships and doesn’t even make the first rung of a career ladder. But by night, he is a star, electrifying the dancefloor and lighting up the night of those around him.<
