Synopsis

Newport and the Gwent valleys provide the backdrop for this gritty, hardhitting film. It's the last night of the Millennium and it's also crunch time for three couples.

Lee is a local rock singer who's tuning up for what could be his big break - a gig in London. It may be a chance to escape from Wales but can he escape from his troubled past? Dafydd and Susie are expecting their first child but footloose Dafydd is afraid the baby will stifle his freedom. And eloping to freedom is what's on Howard and Alma's minds as their affair reaches a climax.

Three couples. Three crises. One hell of a night.
