Eclipse of the Son Will absence make the cock grow fonder? There’s tension as Cal prepares to leave his new home for university where he will live in shared accommodation. The separation from his dad, Buzz, will give them both time to reappraise their fraught relationship and, perhaps, come to a less sexual interdependency. But no one is prepared for the effect on Cal when Buzz finds a new love. He spirals downward into drugs, alcohol and sleazy sex until his friends stage an intervention in order to save him. But this is no ordinary intervention.
