Dennis is a lonely, loveable and misunderstood character who lives by himself in a small flat in Worcester, UK. He has always wanted to fall in love – however, so far, he has never attained it. He has seen what love is supposed to be – on the television…couples holding hands in the streets…the next door neighbours dogs every Sunday morning. However Dennis himself…has never had a companion…until tonight!
