Fat Boy, The

Synopsis:
Trevor is everything youre not supposed to be - hes fat, hes gay, hes effeminate, and hes looking for love. But everything that Trevor touches turns to shit. Every life he comes into contact with goes ballistically wrong. It starts with him baby sitting. The baby dies. He then befriends two young lovers, Megan and James, who split up when Trevor inadvertently outs James. Even Trevors clairvoyant mother, Hope, is not immune to the curse of the Fat Boy. Will Trevor ever find love? Will anyone else survive? A cross between Oedipus Rex and The Benny Hill Show, The Fat Boy is a domestic horror story about love, fate and poo foo valves.
