A pregnant barmaid casts a spell to make her rubbish man ready for fatherhood... And discovers her dream of the perfect man is really her worst nightmare.

SYNOPSIS:

We open at night, in a wild and stormy seaside town as lightning spotlights the cliffs. Giant waves hurl over our heroine, ANGEL (30) as she totters along the promenade in ridiculously-high platform shoes, chased by her lover, JOEY, mid a tempestuous argument. By the sparks in their eyes – and the feverish sex soon after – it’s clear they’re insanely attracted to one another.

But when Joey leaves Angel blindfolded and handcuffed to the bed while he goes out for ice cream and gets her bicycle stolen, we begin to see Angel’s problem. And when she grabs (with her free hand) - a pregnancy test reading positive - we realise why she suddenly wants this bad boy to grow up.

Angel decides to shock Joey into submission by moving out. And onto a narrowboat with her rock-chick girlfriend, JAZZ and the extraordinary hedge-witch, MARLON. Where a plan is hatched to bring Joey to heel by harnessing the powers of witchcraft…

But the spells are disastrous. Joey even appears to have moved in another woman. Convincing Angel she can’t possibly have his baby, so she gets drunk at a Halloween Ball and wakes up the next morning alongside Frankenstein’s Monster… When Joey arrives, wearing new shoes (as Angel had wished for) but distressed by Angel’s new man, he flees to the pub…

Where he saves his new lodger, SASKIA, from an assault in the pub toilets and is lauded as a hero on the local television news. Saskia now swears that she “owes her life to Joey” - as Angel watches the television in torment.

And in desperation to win him back, an almighty ritual is enacted on bonfire night - creating such havoc that Angel and Marlon are chased over hilltops by the whole of the town, all brandishing flaming torches…

And the next day, Joey is back. Wearing a suit and declaring himself “responsible”. It worked!?

Though it soon transpires that Angel may have been a tad hasty in what she’d wished for…
