[Bernie Morris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Five people with five different flaws or problems that surface over the late summer bank holiday. Will they all make it back to work on Tuesday?

Leading up to, during and after an August Bank Holiday, five people - unknown to each other but all employees of the same insurance company - experience a long weekend they would rather forget. As each day unfolds, there is an underlying message in each person's story which suggests that most of the problems they face over the weekend stem from either parental failure or childhood influence. The story follows the thin line that we all follow between what is right and what is wrong. As each character falls into the trap of drink and drugs, or personal obsession, we get to see the consequences of crossing the line
