Long-distance lorry driver Kieran has built his life around control. He keeps emotional risk at arm's length, seeking anonymous hook ups in laybys where connection is never part of the deal. Until Aidan emerges from the treeline, volatile and unnervingly intense. Kieran, convinced he's in control, ignores every warning sign until the police arrive and the carefully constructed boundaries of his life begin to collapse. LAYBY is a queer psychosexual thriller about collision between control and connection. Set over one night in a remote Scottish layby, it is a story about the need for intimacy and how far we'll go into the dark to find it.
