Who says reading is good for you?
American Claire (Anne Dudek) has just moved to Glasgow and is extremely keen to meet some new and interesting people. She decides to start a book group. To her utter dismay, those who turn up for the first session are very peculiar. They are clearly not the friends she hoped for.
Amongst the group there's Kenny (Rotry McCann), a handsome guy in a wheelchair who wants to be a writer. Then there's Janice (Michele Gomez) a bored and frustrated wife of a famous Scottish footballer and the eccentric student Barney (James Lance) who Claire is strangely attracted to.
Scottish BAFTA winner Annie Griffin has written and directed this six-part comedy drama about a group of individuals who want to make new friends, lead new lives, and improve themselves by reading books. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work that way. A little education can be a dangerous thing...
