Speak Easy, Die Hard
Every uni student’s nightmare becomes reality when the UK government introduces alcohol prohibition. Five flatmates: Kim, Andie, Charlie, Mia and Jeremy, refuses to let this ruin their uni experience. After working out how to make hooch, they transform their flat into an underground speakeasy - which causes tensions between Andie (a cool and confident ring-leader) and Jeremy (a law-abiding Star Wars nerd). During their successful opening night their homemade hooch supply begins running low — how far will they go to keep the party alive?
