They have all won a competition celebrating 'the Pewter Heart', a film adaptation of a famous novel. Yet as the strangers gather for the film premiere, it becomes apparent that a terrifying supernatural being, appearing only to the competition winners, has set each of them in its sights. As the local police hone in on the completion winners in their investigation into a woman's mysterious death, Al, Portia, Ambrose and Skye struggle to prove their innocence, or perhaps to shift the blame...
The undead Phantom is one thing, but soon the competition winners also find themselves dealing with a mad axeman, a vengeful ex, a jealous mother, a besotted teenager and an incompetant police investitation. The Real Pewter Heart presents a unique blend of mystery, drama, horror, fantasy and humour.
