In a small university town in the early 1980s, two old friends meet for the first time in decades - Father Michael, the priest with the leather jacket and the rock and roll guitar... and Jimmy, the cynical visiting academic. Twenty years ago, they'd played their music together and dreamed of making the big time.

Now, together again by chance, the old cycle moves round once more. Mary, attractive, available and in need of a man, draws them both to her - just as another girl had drawn them both, so many years ago.

Forever Young is the novelisation of Ray Connolly's Channel 4 film of the same name.
