It is 2003 – ten years since Spud Milton’s class of 93 matriculated and
the boys went their separate ways. Despite their seemingly unbreakable
bond, the Crazy 8 – Rambo, Mad Dog, Vern, Fatty, Garth Garlic, Boggo,
Simon and Spud – have not kept in touch. Or at least, not as far as
Spud knows. When he receives an invitation from the school to attend
the 10 Year Reunion weekend, Spud is determined to avoid the event at
all costs, but he hasn’t reckoned with the bombardment of intrusive
messages and threatening phone calls from his former dorm mates. No one
is going to bend his arm, not this time; he is immune to peer pressure
and wise to Rambo’s devious manipulation techniques. Spud has moved on.
And, anyway, he has enough to worry about on the home front.
At 28 Spud is stuck in a one-third life crisis. Reflecting on a decade
of spectacular non-achievement, at a point where he’s coming to realise
that his glittering stage career might have stalled before it’s even
begun, casts him into deep gloom. For the former scholarship kid, the
prospect of once again having to measure up to his blue-blooded school
friends – and be found wanting – has him riddled with anxiety. Not only
that. Spud still doesn’t have a serious girlfriend, which has seen him
resort to a questionable international bathsexting
relationship with an old flame. Not to mention that circumstances have
forced him to move back in with his parents and his senile grandmother,
Wombat, whose walks never end where they began.
After a wildly unsuccessful fishing trip with his father, as well as a
return to his old way of figuring things out – writing in his diary –
to his own surprise, Spud finds his reunion resistance crumbling.
Curiosity and courage win the day. It’s just a weekend, after all …
what could possibly go wrong?
