Mysterious Charlie has no trouble attracting attention from the ladies, but doesn't often return their affections. Spending his childhood in a broken home has given him a commitment complex and instead of letting people get close, Charlie pushes other people away. Life should be quite straight forward for a good man like Charlie, but when a face from his past threatens everything he holds dear, will he be able to keep his slate clean? Charlie Cotton came for Dot when Nick died and made chaos when his mother Yvonne turned up.
