| STORY DESCRIPTION An anarchic black comedy of denial, anger, obsession, revenge and extremely poor judgement.
Seven years after losing his wife Henry still grieves. Her body was never recovered and Henry, a photographer who lives in the idealised snapshots of his past, stubbornly maintains she's just missing. Now his estranged sister-in-law, Marion, re-enters his life to finally have her sister declared legally dead.
Local gallery owner Sonia 'Groucho' K discovers who was responsible for the tragedy. Wounded by a recent betrayal she sees an opportunity for vengeance-by-proxy. She leads Henry and 'Dizzy' Des, a former convict with a kind heart but a hair-trigger temper, on an elaborate mission to disappear the culprit.
The trio conspire in their regular watering hole, The Bald Monkey, and their plan becomes increasingly absurd. Meanwhile, Henry rekindles his once close friendship with Marion, the only remotely level-headed member of the ensemble, and she sets out to bring him back from the brink of disaster...

Revenge gone wrong, betrayal Author information: Dickon Levinge is a UK based novelist with a background in screenwriting and film-making. He’s also a half-decent photographer.
