A comic tale of star-crossed love and micro-nation building
Henrio is a man of possibly American origins whose checkered past has seen him graduate from homelessness via prison and the Timpsons in Hammersmith Broadway, to self-ordained King of his own micro-nation. His plans for nationhood are deranged and disconcertingly goodnatured. He’s a man who has nothing to lose and everything to gain. That is, until local Community Support Officer Mandy starts to take issue with his socially irresponsible, treasonous behaviour, and Henrio finds himself – against his every instinct- smitten.
