"A different kind of comedy...sometimes life happen where you least expect it."

A unique romantic traumedy about two irreverant souls who find each other, in of all places, a hospital ward.

Taylor is a cynical man in the prime of life who falls ill and doesn't seem to mind one bit. He's happy to drink and joke his way through this nightmare. However, he finds that people can't help but treat him differently... some are afraid, some repulsed, some fascinated and some, like the gorgeous Gwendolyn from the office, want to play doctor and make him feel better anyway they can.

While in hospital, he meets the 'out there' Lynn, a patient who's more than his match in the sarcasm stakes. Together they laugh, fight, steal, throw food at nurses and struggle to stay both physically and spiritually alive.

They're got IV drips hanging off their heart strings.
