OVERVIEW

    Daragh Carville

    Nick likes hunting through skips, accompanied by his unwilling girlfriend Liz. Along with the syringes, old boots and the detritus of life, one day they find Franco, a stand-up comedian dumped by his girlfriend Julie, now living in the skip. Hatching a plan to win Julie back, Franco cajoles Nick into helping him. As the characters' relationships develop in intensity, their operation becomes increasingly extreme, culminating in a mock trial of Julie's new boyfriend with tragic results.
