Faye (Kelly Cullen) and George (Scott Wheeler) have been best friends for years and under different circumstances they probably would have made the perfect couple. Except George is gay. A recent outbreak of a mutated form of HIV, passing only between male hosts, has caused governments to take drastic action worldwide. With no cure and no way to treat the disease, some countries have aggressively recriminalised homosexuality, but nobody really believes that the UK could follow suit. But with the rising body count including influential figures, emergency legislation is passed making gay sex illegal, Under the scrutiny of the law, out homosexuals are subjected to rigorous investigations by government agents. Faye, George and everyone they know are interrogated and come under surveillance from the insistently homophobic Agent Fox (Charlie Fallows). Determined to uncover any kind of homosexual activity, he harasses every gay person he hears about, under the guise of trying to prevent infection. Attempting to hide their sexualities, George and his friends are forced to bold steps to try and evade arrest. The Fey is Ben Turner's second film and premiered in April 2014. The film co-stars Samuel Johnson, James Price, Jessica Nichols, Luke Hallas, Matthew Nichols, Clare Howdon, Mike King, Daniel Tischer and features Anna Phylactic and Tilly Skreams as themselves.
