Some mistakes are bigger than others.
Cupid's a Psycho is a contemporary love story set in Glasgow. It deals
with the intense relationships of three teenagers and a cruel,
unthinking act that tests the limits of love and forgiveness against a
background of disadvantage and alienation in central Scotland.
At school, Blithe coasts along. Quiet and defensive, her home life is
shaped by precarious poverty and the ill health it creates. When Robbie
expresses an interest in Blithe, she initially reciprocates but soon
after dumps him via a recorded video chat. She is persuaded to share the
humiliating footage which is then widely shared at school. Robbie's best
friend Jamie is determined to defend and support him but struggles to
manage the fall out.
From this, the plot unravels and the trio navigate the heartache and
pains of young love and teenage relationships, but from the unique lens
of poverty in modern Scotland.
