Elliott Jordan plays (to critical acclaim) a young paper-pusher from Basildon with few mates and even fewer prospects – until he accidentally manages to score with the ex-girlfriend (Katharine Peachey) of the local Mr Big. Mayhem follows, and a portrait of New Town England emerges genially between the frames.

Critics

“Jordan's a likeable lead, there's plenty of suspense...the truly incredible thing is...the way in which it was put together by a first-time director completely outside the British industry. Nice one me old son!”

Daily Mirror

“A fun, no-budget, British movie that deserves a look.”
