Funny, brilliant, thoughtful and dark, 'Chemistry' is a story about bad choices and those who suffer the consequences.
Jamie has got a kidney stone. Great news. There'll be surgery and a few days in hospital. A few days of unparalleled access to all manner of pharmaceuticals.
But when the hospital stay doesn't quite work out as planned, Jamie decides he must go somewhere he hasn't been in years - home, where his brother happens to be a chemist and his sister a doctor. Perfect. And if all else fails, his insomniac mother has plenty of valerian in her cupboards.
But Jamie's family has their own set of problems. So do Sally, a young mother on the methadone program and Shane, a junkie who wakes up one morning with a tattoo covering half his face. In a desperate bid to improve their lives, Sally and Shane embark on a blackmail plot that entangles all of them. Freeing themselves isn't easy.
'Chemistry' is about bad choices and their consequences. Funny, brilliant and dark, it moves with great force to an unexpected and eloquent conclusion.
