Because it’s the thought that counts. However unsavoury.
When Colin receives an anonymous package, he is bemused and appalled by what he finds inside.
He should just ignore it… But who would send him such a thing – and why did they put it in a cake box?
Colin really isn’t built for this sort of scrutiny, and soon he is turning over everything he might have ever done wrong in his life. It falls upon his sister Lisa and her husband Brian to try to save Colin from his own existential angst, but as his list of possible suspects keeps getting longer he finds himself more determined than ever to unmask the culprit.
The Gift is an irreverent comedy that unashamedly dives into the murky waters of past transgressions, modern-day vengeance, and hilariously unchecked paranoia. Because what should you do when someone tries to seriously upset your applecart in such a disgusting way? Should you take it in your stride? See the funny side? Or rest at nothing until the perpetrator is found and made to pay?
