At the Edinburgh Fringe, vicious theatre critic Alex Lyons is dashing off his latest hatchet job. When Alex meets the show's performer, Hayley, she has no idea who he is. It's only after they've spent the night together that Alex's well-meaning flatmate, Sophie, shows Hayley the one-star review. Humiliated and furious, Hayley revamps her show into a one-star review of Alex's entire life, starring every bad thing he's ever done. The show is an instant hit, setting off a cultural earthquake. With Alex's life in ruins, Sophie has a front-row seat to the carnage. Which is how she discovers that, sometimes, the audience is the most dangerous place to be.
