Darcy Hart comes from a repressed, dysfunctional family, despite their wealth and high social standing. The Harts project a class of a stiff upper lip but Darcy finds comfort in the electric party scene of 1980s London. Soon he finds the dark side of living the drugs, sex, and rock n' roll lifestyle. He escapes the expectations of his parents only to find himself prisoner to the expectations of his lovers.
honestly I know Darcy doesn't want to leave but this sabbatical in another country it's probably going to do him a lot of good because it'll finally give him a chance to avoid his parents and the destructive influence of his brother long enough to get his ducks in a row. I know it's a terrible thing to have to leave home even if it's a very terrible place to live you know because that's all you're familiar with but honestly this could be a real make or break moment for Darcy's character. I also want to point out that Darcy, George and Val's parents, for all the things they are, will that be abusive and neglectful and rude and judgmental and all those things, are also on top of all things cowards. and I mean that they experience and show true cowardice and I mean that sincerely when I say this because of the very fact that they probably forced to Darcy to frame it as him needing a break instead of them deciding to send him on sabbatical which if you ask me if they truly believed in their own system if they truly believe they were right if they truly believe that what they're doing was either better for their image or justifiable then they should have been able to swallow the hard pill of explaining to George and Val that it was their decision but instead they chose a cowardice of hiding behind their son and making him not only leave but make him the scapegoat too much of his brothers frustration and anger.

Val is the only one who isn’t cold to him. that’s so sad and that must hurt to be sent away
