Love, sex and other foreign policy goals

It's 1994, and a gang of good-hearted young people are setting off for Bosnia in a Ford Transit van with a sack of rice and a half-written play to try to stop the war. Andrew would love to stop the war. He has one of the best personal private foreign policies of anyone working on a building site in the North West area. He feels everyone should have a foreign policy, really. But what he'd like to do - maybe even more than stopping the war - is sleep with Penny, who he believes to be the love of his life. But does Penny like him? Or does she love Simon, his rival, an irritatingly authentic Geordie poet? Or Shannon, the fiercely inspiring American leader of the play troupe? It could take a while to work out, as the gang cross Europe and head, via newly-recognized Croatia, into the war zone.
