Synopsis

Greetings from New Flood, which has just won the prestigious 'Worst Town in Scotland' award. The prize is £500,000 with which to 'improve' things.

Vincent has always been original ever since his tragically miraculous birth. When he hears of the honour bestowed on his home town he sees an opportunity both to realise his personal ambition and to double the prize money by defending the title the following year. A wry and witty satire on community and communication.
