Synopsis/Details
An intellectual trainee doctor messes up his final exams due to a heroine overdose and his father kicks him out as his son has let the family name down. Confined in rehab he meets another addict who's previous life was worlds apart from his but they manage to bond. Pixie is a pole dancer and punk rock revivalist who also turned tricks in a tanning salon prior to rehab and has a criminal puppet master. Jimmy is a high brow academic who attended public school, a spiritual guy but has a weakness for hard drugs. Thrown together in the confines of the rehab, despite their daily tortuous withdrawals they form their own little bonding bubble. Although from different walks of life they find something in each other that fills each others void. However once they leave the security of the in house therapy centre the outside world causes new conflicts as the differences between them are considerably highlighted. Mismatched misfits, will their relationship ever survive?
Attached Talent
There are numerous spotlight and stage 32 actors interested in roles and a part producer should I wish to do this myself. However due to covid all my projects are pushed forward and rather than let this sit on the shelf if another party wish to do this, please discuss with me privately. It can be condensed into a short, simply by cutting down the dialogue.
