Motorway

Edinburgh 2026

The canteen is open. Long night ahead. Everything ahead. On the motorway, everyone is on their own private journey. But Maeve and Lucy exist on its margins, working night shifts at a service station; a liminal, eerie place to stop for a coffee. No one ever comes in. When only one of the friends is given the gift of an extraterrestrial encounter, jealousy leads to a violent meltdown in friendship. A chiller night-drug piss play.
