Jack and Chloe. In their twenties, they're looking forward to getting away for a few days whilst Jack battles some ongoing health concerns. They're not going anywhere fancy, just a little staycation in the English countryside. Norman and Jan. In their sixties, they're pretty much retired now with life more or less figured out thanks to some sensible spending in their younger days. Having recently recovered from a heart attack, Norman's looking forward to some peaceful days but first he needs to go to their lodge to show the paying guests around it, ahead of leaving them to enjoy the quiet break in the woods. Kathy and Bill. A couple in their forties who are together because neither of them can afford a divorce. They lead a simple life, working from their burger van on one of the fairly quiet country-roads. If it weren't for how good their burgers were - using only the finest cuts of meat - they'd have gone out of business long ago. Everything appears simple when you look at them from the outside in. But when these lives come together, everything turns to a big, knotted bowl of spaghetti and - for one of them at least - nothing will ever be the same again. A twisted horror story from the guts behind Sick B*stards.

Biography MATT SHAW was born, quite by accident (his mother tripped, he shot out) September 30th 1980 in Winchester hospital where he was immediately placed on the baby ward and EBay. Some twelve years later (wandering the corridors of the hospital and playing with road kill when he was on day release), the listing closed and he remained unsold, he was booted out of the hospital to start his life as a writer and hobbit – beginning with writing screenplays and short stories for his own amusement before finally getting published when he was twenty-seven years and forty-five seconds old. Once Published weekly in a lad's magazine with his photography work, Matt Shaw is also a published author and cartoonist. Has to be said, can be a bit of a flirt and definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, somewhat of a klutz. Favourite books "Roald Dahl's Collection of Short Stories" Tim Burton's Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy Anything, really, written by himself. Because he is that good.
