Description
Funny, sexy and clever, Good Thing Bad Thing follows everyman Mark as he decamps to Italy with his new boyfriend and discovers that life is not always as bad - or as good - as it seems...
On holiday with new boyfriend Tom, Mark heads off to rural Italy for a spot of camping. When the ruggedly seductive Dante invites them onto his farmland the lovers think they have struck lucky, but there is more to Dante than meets the eye - much more. Thoroughly bewitched, Tom, all innocence, appears blind to Dante's dark side - but Mark is racked with suspicion. As their holiday starts to spin slowly but very surely out of control, it is Mark, alone, who can maybe save the day...
