Desperate to be married, Fran was supposed to be on his honeymoon. Instead he's single and slouching around London, entrenched in a bromance with his two best friends. At 29, Fran was sure he'd offered his fiancée everything, but she rejected his heart and his two-bedroom flat in Kentish Town, and called it all off four weeks before their wedding. Fran is convinced that she'll see the error of her ways...until he bumps into her with her new boyfriend, and gone is any hope of reconciliation; he has no choice but to try to meet someone new. Meanwhile, his sometimes neurotic best friends, Ben and Jon, are suffering the opposite of his predicament: their girlfriends are mad about them, but the guys are lukewarm about their girls and always looking for someone else. Whether trawling for talent at a Rabbi's house, being mistaken as part of a gay couple, or negotiating advances from his lovelorn upstairs neighbor, Fran's search for salvation draws him ever closer to home as he navigates the hardest two weeks of his life. Honeymooner stars an extraordinary cast of emerging British talent: Gerard Kearns (Shameless, Looking for Eric, The Mark of Cain), Daisy Haggard (Man Stroke Woman, Green Wing, Psychoville), Chris Coghill (24 Hour Party People), Al Weaver (Marie Antoinette, Me and Orson Welles) and Wunmi Mosaku (Womb, Moses Jones). Honeymooner is an Austen-with-a-twist journey through love, loss, and the picking-yourself-back-up part in-between. It's a story for any romantic or cynic who ever thought they had love all figured out.
