Trudy Jones-McCrone of Trude Films is the larger lady who is desperate to make a film but no-one is taking her seriously. Her skinny flatmate and wannabe super star actor, Luna Sea believes that he’s the best around but no-one else does. When his routine audition scene based at the bus stop, fails to win him the part in a TV pilot with producer/director/w**ker Vic Young, Luna convinces Trudy to produce his not so hot script, My Life as a Bus Stop. A mockumentary about people just trying to get on from the award winning and critically acclaimed indie filmmakers ’The Finnigans’.

Kevin and Cassandra are a married couple who have lost their only daughter Hannah in a freak car accident. They both raised her differently. Kevin had been a traditional parent, Cassandra a permissive one. While Hannah had decided to exhibit her body and mind online, she cut adrift from her father and gravitates towards her mother. Her death drove a wedge between them. Their lounge becomes a battlefield where incendiary words and spiteful things are said. Their marriage is one where opposites no longer attract. Kevin is filled with loathing for his in-laws, his daughter’s boyfriend, himself. Cassandra wears her daughter’s favorite colours with pride and exhibits her painting on the walls. Kevin finds he is powerless in his home and Cassandra mocks the fact that it was her father who bought it. And when he finally leaves it, he leaves Cassandra forever.
