Dave Cookson was a nobody. Tormented by schoolyard bullies, unnoticed by the girl he loves, ridiculed and laughed at by everyone else. His only escape was the homemade gym in his dad’s garage where he could try to get the physique of his bodybuilding idol Arnold Schwarzenegger. Trouble was, although he’s got the weights & the gear, his muscle fantasy is just a weedy dream.

Unable to do anything about it he’s struggling to lift his spirits let alone a dumbbell.

But then Dave’s life is changed forever. Now he’s 17 stone of rippling muscle, ready to take control of his destiny and shift the power in his favour to get revenge.

But it’s not only his body that’s changed; so has his mind and he’s struggling to control both.

A funny, shocking comedy about a young man’s struggle to better himself in a world that doesn’t seem to make sense.

Suitable for ages 15+ . Contains strong language.
