Trigger

By Daniel MacIvor

Vic and Kat were the stars of iconic 90s punk band, Trigger. A decade or so after both the band and their friendship imploded on stage, they meet again to make an appearance at a fundraiser--provided, of course, that they can stand being near each other again. In a single night, they crash through their past, their respective addictions, their fears, and their remaining aspirations, each longing in a way for when we were pure--when we were perfect while knowing all the while that there isn't a chance in hell of getting that feeling back

Trigger is a fiercely personal and philosophical clash between two women, a battle between ideologies, lifestyles--and between memories and the present.
