Plot[]
Donny Dunn, a struggling comedian, worked at a pub. Martha Scott, a lonely woman, entered the pub. She was unable to afford a drink, so Donny offered her a drink on the house. Martha began talking about her career as a lawyer, perpetuating herself as a very successful and powerful woman. Martha visited the pub every day and talked to Donny obsessively. They exchanged compliments. Donny's friends and managers, Gino and Greggsy, took notice and joked that Martha was Donny's girlfriend. Later, Donny's email inbox was spammed by incoherent emails from Martha.
One day, Martha arrived at the pub with an expensive hamper and a quilt, hoping to go on a picnic with Donny. Donny suggested getting coffee instead, since they are just friends.
At the café, Martha explained that she found Donny's email address on his website and criticised Donny's comedy videos on YouTube. Martha began asking Donny invasive questions. She grabbed Donny's hand and insisted that he tell her who hurt him. When Donny told her to let go of his hand, Martha suddenly yelled loudly, taking the whole restaurant by surprise. Donny and Martha quickly exited the restaurant, leaving in opposite directions.
Donny decided to follow Martha and discovered that she lived in a small, messy apartment. While Donny was watching Martha from outside her window, Martha sent Donny an email, causing Donny's phone to make a sound. Martha noticed him and Donny ran away.
One night, while talking, Martha blurted out that she loved Donny. Donny went home and googled Martha, discovering that she used to be a lawyer, but was fired after being convicted of stalking. Martha behaved inappropriately around her boss - hanging around outside his house, falsely reporting him to the police for abusing his child and stabbing his mother in the street. Martha received a 4.5 year prison sentence.
