A one-act psychological dark comedy about a Scottish sociopath named William, who believes his sole purpose in life is to fix the brokenness of the world person by person. We follow his dysfunctional life through his eyes, and we realise very quickly his tendencies, although wanting to be good, only end up creating more damage than fixing it. Through his picky nature we meet his next victim who ends up winning the game William didn’t even know he’d started, but in doing so, ruins her own life.
