Guilt-tripped by her mum to spend ‘quality time’ with her boring step-dad Gareth, the rebellious Ava is dragged to a claustrophobically-small bird hide on a reservoir, for a spot of tedious bird-watching. But instead of catching a glimpse of a crap British bird, she catches a glimpse of a rather grizzly British murder.

Twitch is a dark comedy about polarisation, friendship, family, accepting our differences, and how bird-watching is actually proper shit.

When Tam Chong is late again for her family’s yearly ancestor worship ceremony, she really wasn’t prepared for the repercussions of that bump-on-the-head she sustained during a Karaoke all-nighter, which include: the annoying spirit of her mother Phyllis and a meet-cute with an equally cute stranger in the park. A rom-com you’ve (probably) never seen before.
