Description

Looking for a way out of their humdrum lives in the outskirts of Glasgow, straight-laced Sean, fresh from dropping out of uni, and the gallus Daro, overflowing with charisma and business "acumen", reckon they can be the dream team of frozen treats and buy a luxury ice cream van. In the Scottish dramatic tradition of Passing Places and Midsummer, join them for a story of friendship, finances and flakes. Enjoy a warm journey across Scotland as two friends discover what it takes to survive in the chilly world of cold confectionary.
