It’s the biggest night of Joe Starling’s (Mathew Baynton) life. After a rough year, his work has been nominated for one of advertising’s most prestigious awards - an A&D Pen.

Joe, Hardacre (Nigel Havers), Amanda (Josie Lawrence), and Teddy (Rasmus Hardiker) arrive at the ceremony to eat, drink, and be merry – and celebrate the agency’s rise to respectability.

But when a familiar foe resurfaces (Martin Jarvis) things begin to veer off course, and what should be a night of triumph turns into one of recrimination and revelation, that threatens the future of Hardacre’s itself.
