Adapted from the stage play ‘The Pool’, Twenty Something London lad David travels up to Liverpool hoping to track down the beautiful scouse girl he met last night. But his romantic dream is shattered when her boyfriend give shim his marching orders.
David finds himself walking the streets of a strange city, cursing his naivety. With only some loose change in his pocket and a head full of nonsense he now has to figure out how he’s going to get home. Stumbling into a betting shop to try and win his fare back to London, helpful sales assistant Tina gives him a hot tip on a dog. As a thank you, they go for a coffee and David persuades her to throw a sickie from work and show him the delights of Liverpool.
As the day unfolds we learn about their lives, their pasts and thier hopes for the future. How they face up to the realitites of their lives in very different ways. And how sometimes, we tell strangers things about ourselves we’d never tell our best friends.
