\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s been a year since they finally managed to move to London, they have collectively accomplished nothing, and now their landlord is selling up,\u201d reads the synopsis. \u201cThey\u2019re getting kicked out. What now? Can they keep their friendships alive when they are dispersed across a city that seems to want them dead? Can they find a six out of ten or higher to have bad sex with? Can they get their shit together when the world is so obviously falling apart? Probably not. But they\u2019re going to have fun trying.\u201d<\/p>\n
