Easy Meat

The south Wales Valleys, 23rd June, 2016. It’sanother long day chopping beef carcasses up at theslaughterhouse for former reality TV star and Iron Mancontender, Caleb Jenkins, whose untroubled worldunravelled when his old man’s carpet business wentbust last year, another casualty of the global financialcrisis. While he’s busy trying to manage the well-being of his conspiracy-theorist brother, the mortgagekeeping a roof over his bankrupt parents’ heads, his ownexcruciating grief, internal rage and impossible creditscore, politicians of all persuasions are promising thescared and voiceless people around him real change.

Desperate for acknowledgement and a transformationhe can’t quite bring about by his own means, Caleb ison the edge.

Easy Meat is a glimpse of a young man and a country onthe verge of a momentous decision.
