Rake is about love madness addiction and the law. Whilst Cleaver Greene's ex-wife may call him unreliable his son will thank him for being so indulgent. To jurors he is hilarious to judges an outrage to a certain brothel owner a legend and to his former cocaine dealer a tragic loss. Women like Cleaver. He has the usual prerequisites: looks charm brains and a sense of humour. He has experience like Casanova and cares deeply about the female orgasm. Criminal barrister Cleaver Greene is reckless brilliant and self destructive and thats just his private life.
