Craig parted from his girlfriend ten months ago when she left the United Kingdom to return to her home in Australia. She had promised to return, but eventually the contact between them faded. Yet, Craig could not stop thinking of her.

One morning, an aboriginal angel appears at Craig's breakfast table. Pointing out to Craig that he is not a fairy godmother, so doesn't do wishes; instead, he sets Craig a challenge: The sixteenth person Craig touches or who touches Craig will fall in love with him for the rest of her life. All Craig has to do is get from the UK to Australia on the other side of the world, touching no more than fifteen people, before the sixteenth touch: A kiss on the lips of his girlfriend.

It would take detailed, strategic planning and a military style operation. A journey of more than 16,000kms on planes, in cars and through busy streets accidentality touching no more than fifteen people. What could possibly go wrong?

The Sixteenth Touch is a romantic comedy. It started out as a short story that was adapted into a radio play that was broadcast simultaneously across Australia and in the UK.
