A blisteringly sharp exploration of self-acceptance, friendship and finding connection in the most unexpected places.
Nicki - 30ish, care worker living in Brighton - is scrolling for her next hook up. A difficult home life, a job that's going nowhere, she seeks solace in random encounters.
Amber - 17, college student, lost - desperately needs someone to notice her.
She creates 'Kevin', a fake dating profile for a man in his thirties.
Neither Nicki nor 'Kevin' has any idea what they're about to get into.
They quickly match, and an unlikely friendship develops, giving each other the validation they both sorely need.
But can you ever truly connect when one of you is a liar?
