Nothing Good Happens After 2AM

From London to Los Angeles, Berlin and Tokyo, Nothing Good Happens After 2 a.m. is a story of friendship, ambition, passion - and something more.

London, 2005


Behind the unmarked door of Love and Death, a tiny speakeasy in East London, Robbie Saunders and El Tippett are cocktail-making stars on the rise.


Locked in a volatile dance of rivalry and chemistry, they can't decide how they feel about each other. And, as the as the city transforms itself, and the bar's legend grows, it all begins to unravel.


Yet something indefinable keeps drawing Robbie and El back together. Over the years that follow, one unexpected, ill-advised, and utterly glorious late night after another, can they put aside professional betrayals to build something brand new?
