Strange things happen when you shake your hard-boiled egg in a packet of crushed up Monster Munch. A hilarious, unorthodox love story set on the night shift at a petrol station.

Petrol attendant Alex is desperate to find someone to share his life with, but too scared to do anything about it. A film-obsessive, he works the night shift at an isolated petrol station on the outskirts of a two-bit town. Awkward, and with no real friends to speak of, he confides in his only ‘colleague’ - a smiley-faced vacuum cleaner named Keith, whose voice only Alex can hear.

Ella is a cycling-mad woman of action, prepared for anything and curious about everything. By chance, Alex and Ella's lives intersect. These two lonely souls are made for each other, even if they don’t know it.

This is their story.

Tonight, there is tumbleweed, there are cicadas singing in the night-heat, there is gambling with custard creams. A lone drifter wanders onto the forecourt and the stakes are about to get very high indeed.
