Brighton - summer. The setting for the budget British gangster movie that director Ben Lincoln is praying will launch his career. He's pinning his hopes on former pop icon Danny Parker and Emma Buckley, a struggling young actress who's had to stretch the truth just a little to snatch her first big break. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, costume designer Liz Thorne bides her time, waiting for the moment to make her move on the man who broke her heart six years ago. And this time nothing is going to stand in her way, not the cast, not the crew and certainly not the clause in every contract that states: sex on location doesn't count. Capturing the organised mayhem of a film crew playing away from home, IT'S A WRAP is a hilarious, unputdownable tale of love, lies and celluloid from the superb Stella Chaplin.
