Project Detail

You're Fired

Synopsis

In a small quiet town in the north-east of England, there is a murder. A sports journalist who hates sport quits his job. A bouncer is fired for 'bouncing'. And a girl is jilted at the altar. These seemingly random events spiral together when the three accidentally bump into each other in the same pub. As the girl drowns her sorrows, the writer works on a crime script, and the bouncer starts talking, little do they know that someone is listening. Now all three are entangled with a beautiful widow, a suitcase full of money, an ever-increasing body-count, and a dubious pint of semi-skimmed. Will the bouncer ever get his hands on the money? Will the bride ever find out what happened to her husband-to-be? Will the writer ever live down last year's under-12s five-a-side mascot fiasco? Will they even survive a murder case they're not supposed to be involved in? Soon all will be revealed, and delivered straight to your doorstep!
