Sam Wants Her Sweater Back
Three queer friends launch a half-witted heist to steal back a beloved sweater from one of their exes. But recovering from heartbreak isn't quite the slick-lit, neon-noir adventure one of them imagines. Andi and Max’s best friend Sam was dumped months ago. But Sam’s ex, Poppy, still hasn’t returned her sweater. THE Sweater, cream colored, thick knit with the perfect hint of fraying. Andi, recently dumped herself (but why even bring that up?), won’t stand for it! So, in Andi’s mind the world becomes a gritty, neon laced action-thriller as they infiltrate Poppy’s house party in search of The Sweater. As the night unfolds and multiple plans unravel it becomes clear Andi’s vehemence has little to do with her friend’s knitwear and all to do with hiding from her own heartbreak. A delightful romp from denial to acceptance after being broken up with, SAM WANTS HER SWEATER BACK is ultimately about recovery from heartbreak through the love of friends.
