SCUTTLEBUTT

$5.40 – $15.00

A group of women who met on a cruise five years ago have been reuniting every six months at their favourite watering hole, but this time is different: the place has had a makeover, their favourite waiter has left and ditzy Rose has dragged along a mysterious newcomer, much to the disgust of Winnie, the group's self-appointed leader.

When the mood turns ugly after a few drinks, a young Greek waiter is subjected to sexual harassment and Jerri, the new girl, becomes the butt of Winnie's hostility as the fur well and truly starts to fly.

Jerri retaliates by forcing the women to face some unpalatable truths, ensuring this will be the last reunion they ever have. But with Jerri and Winnie the last ones standing, they surprise themselves and each other by finding grounds for a real friendship, warts and all.
