An amusingly bleak hearted tale of two weather lashed old spinsters. Lol and Edna Pearce live on a remote and austere strip of coast. Taking shelter in a beaten driftwood shack they scrape out a miserable existence from the sea. When the sea offers up a handsome, but half drowned man, they do their best to resuscitate him. It’s not until he fails to show the proper gratitude that things start to go, unfortunately, somewhat awry. The Pearce Sisters is a tale of love, loneliness, guts, gore, nudity, violence, smoking and cups of tea.

Niki and her friends are attending their last year at school. Alex is an almost thirty-five year old “boy”. The girlfriend he’s dated for many years has just dumped him without an apparent reason. Alex has a leading post in the advertising agency he works for, but recently a young and ambitious colleague has joined the agency threatening his position. On top of all of this, one morning Alex meets Niki. Better still, they crash into each other. Niki is a beautiful girl. She’s bright, funny, cheerful, amusing. There is only a little drawback: she’s only seventeen. Twenty years younger than Alex. And after that morning, nothing will ever be the same.
