When Love Comes is set against a vibrant, urban lifestyle, where creative energy runs rampant and illicit substances fuel the artistic juices; where sex is always available, but love is elusive. Katie comes home to New Zealand from Los Angeles. Stephen, her oldest friend, gives her a refuge in his house and in his heart. Stephen wants Mark, who writes great songs through a haze of alcohol, dope and confusion. The singers of Mark’s songs are Fig and Sally – they want knife-edge life and each other. Eddie wants Katie. Katie doesn’t know what she wants, as long as it’s not what she’s got. These six people journey through the ins and outs and ups and downs of love and destiny.
