Life's a beach!
With a touch of humor and subtlety, The Morning After tackles the very topical subjects of alcohol consumption, personal relationships, and creating a life of your own.
When 25 year old Birmingham party-girl Nina Morgan wakes up naked on a beach in Cape Town, South Africa, about 6000 miles from home and with all of her stuff missing, it’s clear things haven’t gone to plan. A bunch of young and eccentric local misfits who share a cottage by the beach quickly rescue her from that immediate predicament, and help her exact revenge on the asshole who did this to her, but ultimately Nina’s going to have to be the one to rescue herself from herself.
