In this dark Australian comedy, 31-year-old Harriet 'Harry' Wylde returns to her hometown in remote South Australia to care for her two terminally ill parents. When both pass away within weeks of each other, Harry is forced to face her ultimate fear: absolute aloneness. After reconnecting with her dysfunctional friend Daisy, Harry learns that grief doesn't play by the rules - and soon, neither will she.

The semi-autobiographical series stars actor and first-time screenwriter Anna Lindner (Wolf Creek 2).

"It packs a lot into its six episodes – proof you can often do more with less."

News.com.au

"Morbidly funny (and) uncomfortably raw..."

—

Sydney Morning Herald

"This show deftly balances deeply sad scenes with really funny ones..."

—

Screenhub

"(It) does not offer a particularly unique perspective on grief, but it is a worthy local entry into the traumedy genre and an excellent example of contemporary Australian short form storytelling."
