A travelling funfair of seductive troublemakers arrive in a repressed Scottish town. What could possibly go wrong?
It-s the summer of -97 and the Scottish town of Pitlaw is itching for change.
Enter the Freakslaw - a travelling funfair populated by deviant queers, a contortionist witch, the most powerful fortune teller, and other architects of mayhem. It doesn-t take long for the Freakslaw folk to infiltrate Pitlaw-s grey world, where the town-s teenagers - none more so than Ruth and Derek - are seduced by neon charms and the possibility of escape.
But beneath it all, these newcomers are harbouring a darker desire: revenge.
