In the space of 3 days, Pip has lost her boyfriend, her flat and her terrible, dehumanising job. Craving a new start, she returns home to the Brexit British countryside. Great Expectations retells the classic Dickens novel with a modern and darkly comedic female voice. It engages with questions about society, exploitation, loneliness and how women are viewed, all with a great deal of humour and heart.

Stanley Ford leads an idyllic bachelor life. He is a nationally syndicated cartoonist whose Bash Brannigan series provides him with a luxury townhouse and a full-time valet, Charles. When he wakes up the morning after the night before - he had attended a friend's stag party - he finds that he is married to the very beautiful woman who popped out of the cake - and who doesn't speak a word of English. Despite his initial protestations, he comes to like married life and even changes his cartoon character from a super spy to a somewhat harried husband.

What should have been a romantic getaway turns into one hilarious debacle after another when Michael's woman dumps him in the desert where he gets carjacked by a teenager and he is taken hostage in a stickup at the local Sip and Zip.
