"There's been a tweet."
Douglas Bellowes is a national treasure, and for the past 10 years he’s been a mainstay of British Television presenting a daily current affairs show. He’s comfortable, middle-aged, and famous, none of which does him any favours when a mysterious accusatory tweet appears. The situation continues to snowball after being retweeted by Douglas’ younger, steelier co-host, Madeline.
She claims it’s her way of supporting him – but can he trust her? With the tweet gaining traction, Douglas is at risk of being cancelled and losing it all, unless he accepts Madeline’s offer of help.
