A once-glamorous Scottish hotel is being sold to Donald Trump. Eccentric staff and celebrity guests conspire to prevent the sale. But first, if they are to succeed, a menacing mystery must be investigated. Lewis MacLeod (Dead Ringers, The Crown) and Ronni Ancona (The Big Impression, Last Tango in Halifax) unite their astonishing voice skills to create this surreal and dark story. However, when their characters take on a life of their own, talking back and interfering in the narrative, it becomes clear they are losing control over their own creations... and themselves!

The prospect of spending an hour in the company of Donald and Melania Trump would be enough to make most people run for the hills. But when it's impressionists Ronni Ancona and Lewis MacLeod who are inhabiting the roles of the President and First Lady, the idea appeals.
