Simon and Jay have spent years happily working the night shift at Supersave until recent graduate Nadia joins as a stop gap while applying for grad schemes. Continually demeaning their life choices, she pushes Jay to believe he’s meant for something more, and goads Simon to become something he's not. As things start to fall apart for her colleagues, Nadia remains oblivious to the damage her ambition leaves behind as she makes plans to move on without them.

“[Night Shift] is a deftly balanced comedy that is both charming and at times breaks your heart…. a revelation.”
