Fat Chance

When best friends Marsha and Milly embark on a short holiday to the Amalfi coast in Italy, their chief concern is sunburn not murder. On arrival they find Marsha’s friend Betty has been kidnapped by a serial killer who specifically targets fat women. In trying to solve the mystery herself, Marsha meets a reluctant policeman, an unhappy forensic anthropologist and a frustrated psychiatrist – and the mix is set for more than a little chaos and confusion.
‘Fat Chance’ is a spoof on the usual formula thriller but is also a social comment on discrimination.
