Magnus (Alistair Petrie) is a surgeon who secretly believes that if he doesn’t do his daily rituals, his patients will die. We follow Magnus through the habitual voicemail messages he leaves for his ex-girlfriend Julia, but with each day she doesn’t answer, his rituals are further interrupted. The mindfulness podcast he listens to, in a desperate attempt to change, isn’t helping and might in fact be making things much worse.

Alfie (George Robinson) and Lily (Izuka Hoyle) are in the first flush of love, when Alfie - who is prone to hypochondria - develops a cough. His worries about the cancer that killed his father, Lily’s exes and the malevolent fortune cookie at his birthday meal, result in a lump in his throat. Lily’s efforts - and her hair – seem to be as much a part of the problem as the solution as they both soon discover.
