Retrograde

Maddie (Pallavi Sharda) is about to embark on an exciting career in Korea when COVID-19 crashes her farewell party. As fast as you can say social isolation she is both unemployed and homeless. Thankfully she hadn't got around to dumping her boring but nice boyfriend Rob (Max Brown) - so she can lockdown with him (and his 6 year old daughter!) But even at 35 years old, adulting is not something that comes naturally to Maddie. And to make things worse her fuckboi ex boyfriend (Nick Boshier) from London is back on the (online) scene. But, she's not alone, she starts an online bar for her friends Ramsay (Ilai Swindells), Isabel (Maria Angelico) and Sophie (Esther Hannaford) have created an online bar where they drown their sorrows and workshop their terrible life choices as they try to navigate this new world order. Should Maddie get back together with the guy who broke her heart? What is zoom sex etiquette, anyway? Are drug dealers really providing contactless services? What do you do when your immune medication is sold out after being touted as the cure to COVID-19 by Trump? And is it ever a good idea to get stoned after listening to The Daily podcast about a global pandemic? When tragedy strikes the gang, Maddie is forced to take a good hard look at herself in the preview window - and work out what she wants her life to be in lockdown world and beyond.
