Synopsis
A train station in England. Catherine, a wealthy aristocrat, meets Leo, a mysterious and beautiful young man with no possessions or past.
Catherine recruits Leo for a secret revolutionary plot to overthrow the government and upend society. As they travel across the country, gathering allies and weapons, it becomes clear that Catherine’s plan involves widespread violence and chaos. Leo, initially naive and detached, is drawn deeper into the conspiracy, which culminates in a bloody uprising led by ordinary citizens against the ruling elites.
Mullarkey’s darkly comic satire blends absurdist humour with biting social commentary. Through increasingly surreal scenarios, he examines themes of class, power, and the potential for radical change lurking beneath the surface of polite society.
