In a contemporary slice of British life, eight men find themselves brought together by chance in a hospital waiting room. A family man, worn down by the demands of running a busine ss and providing for his loved ones, stumbles into a passionate affair with a younger woman. But can he pull back before everything unravels?A young man, deprived of education and family support, teeters on the fringes of society - battling each day through drugs and petty crime in a fight for survival. And then there's our narrator - a self-styled "comedy northerner" and freelance journalist living in the South of England. To him, the seven men in that waiting room may be more than strangers-they might just be his next big story. But at what cost?Five other lives intertwine, weaving the rich, layered narrative of Overdressed - a story laced with humour... until it isn't. Show more
