Set in the avant-garde world of modern ballet, Delaney is a story of desire, greed and ambition amidst the sweaty bodies, nudity and backstabbing of a gay contemporary dance company. Frank Delaney is a street lad training to be a boxer when he is seduced into dancing Nijinsky's most famous role: L'après-midi d'un Faune. But company director, Jonathan Delmore, has plans for Delaney that don't include just dancing, and intrigue, jealousy and pure unashamed lust quickly weave themselves into an ever-tightening web around our intrepid hero.
