Hopeful Romantic
Daisy is looking for love but it’s all going terribly wrong. If only she could be someone else, someone ‘cooler’. After encountering a ‘cool’ girl in a bar bathroom, Daisy learns things aren’t always as perfect as they seem and decides the only way to find love is to be completely herself.
Starring Special Olympics Gold Medalist Chris Bunton and Daniel MacPherson (Neighbours).
