Tripping is a hedonistic journey through the worlds of drugs, excess and modern day youth culture. Set in Belfast in the summer of 2014, it follows the lives of Scarlet and her two best friends, Deano and Lauryn, as they slip down the rabbit hole of addiction and push both mental and physical boundaries. Bringing to light the realities of drug use and abuse, it’s clear not everything is black and white. When Scarlet’s reality comes crashing down around her, we are taken along for the ride as she goes through the processes of grief, confusion, acceptance and ultimately, rediscovering herself.
-
“We’re a youth culture of hedonists, Scarlet. And we’ll drink, snort, love and laugh ourselves into nothingness.”
Scarlet has never been one for moderation, or doing anything by halves in fact. 2014 is coming to an end, and a generation of disillusioned youth is awakening. Set in the heart of Belfast, Scarlet, Deano and Lauryn find themselves in a restless limbo fueled by increasing amounts of cocaine. The opportunity for hedonistic extravagance is everywhere in ever-evolving forms, and they are taking full advantage.
Then Scarlet finds her ultimate hit...Jamie Brennan. Their intoxicating affair takes them on a metaphysical journey of love, laughter and psychedelic discovery. But all good things must come to an end, and their beautifully-crafted reality is threatened by the past, the truth and their own self-destruction. Will they realise who they are before it’s too late?
‘Tripping’ delves deep into a world defined by excess, pleasure and soul exploration. When more is never enough, how much are we willing to sacrifice?
