Tom's Project

Bleach - co written with Doug Bolton

BLEACH is a soap with a bite.

An ordinary, recognisable suburban community slides towards chaos when the rules of their society are irrevocably challenged.

As outside forces cause food and power shortages, pillar of the community Derek Burns embezzles money to save his wife's hopeless pregnancy. A boy in a coma warns of impending calamity and a pet pig turns neighbour against neighbour.

New arrivals, the Campbell family, struggle to contain their desperation, reacting to the deteriorating situation like cornered rats. When Derek's wife finally gives birth to a pig, anarchy and hedonism take hold.

A comfortable, familiar world subverted. Amid the violence and strange rituals, Derek stands up for his neighbours and finds some redemption as a new community emerges, purified and bonded by blood and fire.
