Description

Vic and Kat were the stars of iconic 90s punk band, Trigger. A decade or so after both the band and their friendship imploded on stage, they meet again to make an appearance at a fundraiser--provided, of course, that they can stand being near each other again. In a single night, they crash through their past, their respective addictions, their fears, and their remaining aspirations, each longing in a way for when we were pure--when we were perfect while knowing all the while that there isn't a chance in hell of getting that feeling back

Trigger is a fiercely personal and philosophical clash between two women, a battle between ideologies, lifestyles--and between memories and the present.

Scirocco Drama is proud to launch its entry into screenplay publishing with the filmscript of this acclaimed movie, directed by Bruce McDonald and starring Molly Parker and Tracy Wright.
