When Sean’s best pal Davie tragically dies on the day of his release from prison, the system prepares to cremate him in a council funeral with no guests, no gravestone, and no story. From his prison cell, Sean makes a promise: Davie won’t go out like that.

Haunted by Davie’s ghost and inspired by their favourite films, Sean launches himself on an impossible quest to escape custody and rewrite his friend’s ending before the end credits.

Co-presented with Traverse Theatre, it played for eleven performances, seven of them sold out at the Òran Mór and Traverse.
