Plot

A suicidal Northern, working class man dives headfirst into a lost weekend of self-destruction under the bright lights of Blackpool, before finding salvation lies within and at the hands of a six-foot parrot.

He's a man who has had enough. After 30 years of too many downs and not enough ups on life's roller coaster, Billy embarks on a final lost weekend in the funfair of a town that is Blackpool. The place he loved as a kid seemed as good as anywhere to end it all. Well, at least try to. Unfortunately, like so many other things in his chaotic world, it doesn't quite go the way he had hoped. In a hilarious, drink and drug-fueled romp, Billy staggers from one failed attempt to another, but then suddenly finds a reason to live in all the madness. His redemption arrives in the shape of a grown man dressed as a parrot. Forgetting his own problems for a second, Billy instinctively saves the suicidal parrot from taking one last flight off the beach of Blackpool and in doing so, Billy finds a reason to live.
