 Alice is in her 20s, a graduate with a shitty job. She s saving to head overseas, but family problems are holding her back. While she s waiting to leave, Alice acts as our guide as we travel into the lives of her flatmates, her boyfriend s band, her family, and a few complete strangers who have nothing to do with anything (probably). Julian sells his soul to the devil s cousin. Zoe is attempting to overthrow corporate capitalism through counter-propaganda, while Greg is building a bomb. Josie s just been sacked. Petulia, a 14-year old goth, has befriended Julian s disembodied shadow... kind of. Meanwhile the sky is cracking apart, whales walk the earth, and a colossal tidal wave threatens to destroy the planet. People are dating and drinking coffee. Some are looking for better jobs, others are skating and smoking pot. And a bumble bee s life hangs in the balance.
