A Love of Ions

It's the early 1960s, the Rolling Stones, kipper ties and a sexual revolution; Kay and Paul, two young, gifted research scientists begin to find their way in academia and their distinctive research disciplines. Both bear emotional scars, a burden which seemingly puts a brake on future relationships and any ideas of romance. Without notice, their lives are disrupted by an intriguing government project clouded in the politics of the time. Two conflicted individuals drawn together by the fervour of innovative research and surrounded by aspiring youthful scientists with clear goals. How will this intense collaboration awaken their emotions? And will it force them to not only assess their careers but the role of their science in the community and the world about them at a time of burgeoning technological advancement across so many continents? At the nexus of cultural change and momentous political events, their love story explores the ambiguities and over-lapping complexities of science and the scientists that work in the real world. Where thoughtful and dedicated professionals are ravaged by the conflicting forces of ambition, reason and emotion.
