Lily O'Connor – brash, sexy, witty – lives on the Northeast coast away from the world and her past. But when her mother dies, the past draws Lily back in. When she finds that her younger brother Mikey, the only one who looked after her when they were kids, disappeared to London years ago, she resolves to try and find him. But the search could kill her. Lily's epilepsy brings vivid visual distortions, strange auras and terrifying visions that we experience through her eyes. ELECTRICITY takes us on a journey that brings Lily to the brink of death before triumph in a beautiful and uplifting story of self-discovery and the human spirit.
"The connection to 'Alice in Wonderland' is in the novel and it's something that Joe Fisher, the screenwriter, and I tried to transfer across into the script. It's a wonderful underlying visual metaphor to be able to return to."
Bryn Higgins
