Ball of Light

Synopsis:
Lily doesn't want to go to her five year old party. That's understandable, seeing as she's eighteen years old. She can't see the ball of light either and this spells dire consequences for her if her acting tutors ever find out, so she's decided to flee Drama school once and for all. She arrives at her Auntie Wendy and Uncle Peter's house in the middle of the night stinking of petrol. Something bad has happened. Wendy doesn't need this crisis at the moment, especially when her husband's getting hunger pains for his long lost idyllic childhood and there's strangers knocking on the door demanding to play pass the parcel.
