Sebastian
“How far would you go for the story?”
Max is a 25-year-old freelance writer and aspiring novelist who seems well on his way to success in London’s cultural spheres.

Max uses his experiences as Sebastian to fuel his stories and the worthy debut novel that he has been longing to write, finally seems within reach.
