A bittersweet, bonkers cake-mix of the epic and the outlandish, beaten together with the everyday, and the plain silly.

The setting: A village fete - bunting, cakes, outsize veg, and wasps. The characters: Two bantering first-aid volunteers setting up their tent - George, a stand-in Grandpa for Maddy; and Maddy, a stand-in Granddaughter for George. Oh, and one Lebanese Drag Queen - Eliana Sultana, booked to do the raffle, getting changed in the corner. The drama: In a ‘twist of fete’, their stories entwine with explosive results. Why has a Drag Queen been booked for a village fete? What is Maddy's connection with Eliana's boyfriend? Where has George seen Eliana's face before? And just how allergic is Eliana to wasps?
