A Practical Arrangement is a life-affirming, bitter-sweet tale of an ordinary family life uncontrollably descending
into despair, crime and impossible choices. A sobering narrative for our times of unrealistic and unattainable
life expectations.

He is approaching forty but sometimes Andy feels closer to fifty. His career, home and family life are rapidly
going downhill, and he is approaching a self-induced crisis. A dramatic tipping point in his life. When a
nurturing and championing boss leaves the biotech company Andy works for, he is left struggling with his
jealous peers and the fear of onrushing redundancy. With finances stretched and a growing family to support,
Andy is pushed to breaking point.

Sneaking some samples of an untested depression medication into his bag one evening after work, Andy
hopes the drug will help him to turn his life around. It does but not in the way he expected. Instead, the drug and
his deception, throws Andy into an abusive and life-changing affair with the headstrong paradox that is Janey
Robins who trades her body for Andy’s intoxicating drug. A practical arrangement riven with self-interest and
mutual deceit. But it is not only Janey who is interested in the drug as the police close in on the source of a life-
threatening, and frightening new drug which has suddenly appeared on the streets. Will Andy be able to turn
things around, or has the drug and the choices he has made ruin his family life and career beyond redemption?
