• Synopsis

  Ed, a suave middle-aged man, meets Shell at a bar in the airport where she works. Over cocktails, Shell reveals she's broke and will have to sell a watch of sentimental and monetary value just to pay the rent. Ed suggests another transaction that might be mutually beneficial. Initially repulsed, Shell agrees to spend the night with Ed. Waking the next morning, Ed is confronted by Conor, Shell's flatmate, who convinces Ed to invest in his anti-fat pill. But can Conor be trusted? Can Ed? Just who is fooling whom - and who is selling the snake oil?
