One summer, mother and ex dancer Eileen lapses back to a troubled past as she starts a new relationship... we watch as she and her family combust. The film, shot on a micro budget, treads between darkness and humour as it moves from its beginning in the suburban cricket club to its conclusion at a music festival.

The film reveals the life, plight and loves of the eminent Mary Anning, an 1800's fossil hunter - navigating her career and research in a male dominated society at a time when women's research was largely unrecognised or plagiarised by men. Predominantly unknown despite her spectacular finds, including Icthyiousauri, a Pterodactyl and Plesiosaurus, and notwithstanding the fact that Darwins' 'Origin of Species' was largely influenced by her work. She is at last becoming the most celebrated paleontologist of all time.

Recently-dumped and on the verge of admitting she'll never make any money doing something she loves, a young artist takes a job in a top London advertising agency and, much to her surprise, after connecting with a disillusioned colleague, starts to enjoy life as a grown-up - and the wild lifestyle that follows; but when the pull of the carefree life she left behind gets in the way of responsibilities, she must learn to behave like an adult, personally and professionally, to hang on to the life and people she's started to fall for.

Mark, a low end South London hitman recently released from prison, tries to go straight for his daughter, but gets drawn back in by Alan, his former cellmate, to do one final job.

Closeted gay boy Matthew is having a bit of trouble keeping his feelings to himself and Joe Orton out of his daydreams.
