To everyone around him, James appears to be content with his apparently comfortable life. He loves his job and hearing the stories of the people who come in to the register office each day.

His easy-going, warm and caring nature makes him perfect at handling the constant stream of brides, grooms, new parents and mourners. At home his world revolves around his wife Sarah and their two sons; 14-year-old Jaden and 11-year old Ewan. James loves being a father and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for his family.

Over the last few years James and Kate have become really good friends and they love spending time in each other’s company at work. Like Kate, James trusts his gut instincts and picks up when visitors are economical with the truth. Perhaps this is because he is playing his own cards close to his chest... James has a secret he’s been keeping from everyone for years and it promises to turn his seemingly perfect world upside down...
