Becks wants a boyfriend. She meets her dream man online, yet the discovery of his criminal conviction rather complicates the matter. But just how bad can it be...?

Becks can't believe it when she thinks she's found her ideal partner to break her cycle of singledom, only there's one small issue – he's in prison. After their first date she's hooked, but as he reels her in, a question mark looms over who he really is. The closer Becks gets, the more she's at risk of being caught in his net.

This one-woman tragi-comedy explores the consequences of loneliness, and what lengths people will go to in the pursuit of love.
