Project Detail

Doubt on Loan

Synopsis

What happens when you put a blindly enthusiastic American with a disneyfied view of English life in charge of a run-down inner city British library?

Welcome to Shawcross Library managed by Mia Taylor-Clarke - hoping to kick of her reign with a book reading to remember of Philip Dunleavy's Survivors - a 9/11 memoir - rather than the Zombie Apocalypse novel she thought she was hosting.
