OPENING

1) MONTAGE OVER THE OPENING CREDITS TO BLEACHERS WAKE ME

A progression of images of TARA (+friends) and ELLIOT throughout their time at university.
A1 TARA'S MYSPACE ALBUM TITLED First Year of the Rest of My Life (:
Tara is clean cut, a chronic overachiever with the whole world at her feet. University is when
she will shine. She's sure of it.
A1:1 Tara outside the University building
A1:2 Tara outside her new dorm room
A1:3 Tara meets her floor mates for the first time, is unimpressed by the boys antics
A1:4 Tara and Connie hugging, wide smiles
B1 CONNIE'S FACEBOOK ALBUM TITLED To new beginnings....
Connie is obviously the fun one. Most of her pictures involve her holding a bottle of beer
or kissing some random boy. Obviously only posting the pictures because Tara nags at her to
do it (Or Tara ends up doing it herself.)
B1:1 Connie posing with Tara, unnamed female, unnamed female and Grace with t-shirts
indicating they are freshers.
B1:2 Connie kissing Ben
B1:3 Connie laughing because she was caught kissing Ben
B1:4 Connie kissing Elliot
C1 ELLIOTS TWITTER ACCOUNT @ErichardS
Elliot is lazy in his schoolwork. Much preferring to put his time and energy into formulating
witty tweets and comebacks. As seen in some of the tweets he posts.
C1:1 Elliot with boxes in his hand, indicating he's moving in to the dorm next to Tara
captioned Do you even lift bro?
C1:2 Elliot cuddling his sisters baby captioned Meet the latest addition to the Richards
family #notminetho
C1:3 Tara surrounded by roses, disgusted look on her face captioned My babe obv
appreciating Valentines Day #Scrooge?
C1:4 Elliot and Ben at a football match, wide grins captioned Lotta love to my babe for
letting me hang out with my boi this weekend!
D1 BEN'S INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT @BenBoyle12
Ben dropped out of university to dedicate his time to his football team the Rovers.
Sometimes he regrets this decision purely because he feels left out of inside jokes from the
rest of his friendship group
D1:1 Montage finishes with a picture from graduation there are eleven people in total in the picture
(including Ben). Some friends who had been left behind after university, and some the group
realised were total pricks and were better off without.

EPISODE ONE TARA

ACT ONE
INT BATHROOM NIGHT AROUND 11:30PM JANUARY 7th
The bathroom is small. It's obvious that this is a students apartment. TARA is sitting on the
edge of the bath as she fiddles at the straps on her heels. CONNIE has a mirror propped up on the
toilet seat and is doing her make up. GRACE is standing in the bath backcombing her hair trying to
get the desired volume. It's not going too well.

Tonight is my 22nd birthday. It's been exactly a week since that
