The Suicide

Transferring the story from Stalinist Russia to a council estate in East London, we meet Sam who is stuck. Stuck in his jobless misery, stuck in his marriage and living with his mother-in-law. A failed suicide attempt sets off a series of events that turns Sam into a social media star and post austerity icon.
