About this show

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to find yourself trapped by destiny in an independent bingo hall? So has Jo. Jo’s life has taken a turn for the worse. She’s eighteen, grieving the loss of her mother, and at risk of losing her flat. Through a mix of desperation and a pull of fate, she stumbles into her local bingo hall. As events unfold, Jo is offered a job and becomes part of the hall’s great history. Can she overcome her anxiety, find out the truth and turn her life around?
