What is THE UNFRIEND about?
Peter and Debbie are on holiday when they befriend a lusty, Trump-loving widow from Denver, USA named Elsa. She's less than woke but kind of wonderful, so they agree to stay in touch once the holiday is over. But nobody really does, do they?
But when Elsa invites herself to stay with the family a few months later, they decide to look her up online. It's too late, Elsa Jean Krakowski is a deadly danger and she's already on a flight to London! What began as a casual holiday friendship now threatens all of their lives.
