The story follows Frances, a 21-year-old college student, as she navigates a series of relationships that force her to confront her own vulnerabilities for the first time.
It is set to star upcoming Irish actress, Alison Oliver as protagonist, Frances.
On discovering she had landed the massive role, Alison has said; “when I did find out, I was just completely shocked and I remember I sat in my bedroom for like two hours and I just stared at the wall and I didn’t know what to do because I don’t think I was allowed to say anything yet.”
