Synopsis

An explosion in a central London Hotel. Three strangers escape together and hide out in a room. "Just sit in the middle of the room and be quiet", they're told. What could be easier?
A comedy about the 24hr news cycle, 'experts' and whether or not social media is more important than people's lives.
