Synopsis: (Comedy) Willy always knew that Sunday’s lunch with his girlfriend Chloe and her parents Mr and Mrs Pegg was going to be a little awkward, but nothing could have prepared him for this. Having survived the requisite 'friendly digs' and slightly strange offers of absinthe courtesy of Chloe's audacious father Greg, Willy excuses himself from the table in the middle of lunch, only to find himself trapped in a rare and terrifying situation. Things get freaky and the long-awaited family lunch suddenly finds itself under great threat, but as Willy finds out, sometimes you’ve just got to soldier on. And who knows? You might just be rewarded with the perfect opportunity to set things right and save the day.
