Valerie was quite happy slipping into invisibility until her Gen Z co-worker gets fired for saying ‘no’ to the boss’s wandering hands. With a sharp tongue, dry humour and a spine of steel, Valerie fights back, dredging up truths from 1978 that never really went away. Some secrets stay buried, but Valerie’s done being quiet.
