Despite their seemingly unbreakable bond, the Crazy Eight have not kept in touch since going their separate ways. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn invitation from the school to attend their ten-year reunion weekend has an unsettling effect on Spud, the former scholarship boy, triggering a tumult of emotions, not all of which are comfortable. Of one thing he is sure: there is no way he'll be attending the reunion. The prospect of having to reveal his decade of spectacular non-achievement to a bunch of trust-fund kids who've never known a day of financial anxiety hardens his resolve. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt twenty-eight, Spud is stuck in a one-third-life crisis, facing the stark possibility that his glittering theatre career has stalled before it's even begun. Not only that, he still doesn't have a girlfriend. And certain circumstances have forced him to move back in with his parents and his senile grandmother Wombat, whose walks never end where they begin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Spud hasn't reckoned with powerful behind-the-scenes machinations that are already at work.
