A Long Weekend
Robert & Christine Cooper bought a derelict farmhouse in the hills about a year ago. They ‘did it up’ and were looking forward to getting away from the city whenever they had the chance. Then things started to go horribly wrong in the city.Well Robert was an investment banker. They cut their losses, move into their hillside idyll permanently and use their remaining capital converting an old barn into a holiday cottage to provide them with a much needed income. They are putting a few final welcoming touches to the cottage on the Friday evening as they await the arrival of the Harrington’s, their first guests, who have booked a long weekend to go walking in the hills when…. disaster strikes! It would appear that Robert has inadvertently run over what appears to be a drunken tramp that appears to have been asleep underneath Robert’s land rover. He appears to be dead. And then the Harringtons turn up. Or so it would appear. However very little of what occurs during the weekend that follows is actually how it appears. The strange couple who have showed up are not the Harringtons and have absolutely no interest in walking in the hills. In fact Frankie and Viv are expecting the farmhouse and barn to be derelict, they are expecting to meet someone called Maurice and they are looking for the key to a safe deposit box It looks like it’s going to be a long weekend. |
