Elroy the Potato Head Boy
Directed by Ben Lock, Written by Scott Flockhart

A charming and poignant tale following the quest of the rejected Daniella DuPrey's yearn for her parents love. She does whatever it takes only to be pushed aside by her 'brother'. Her family have been forced to live on the streets during the Great Depression, so her parents decide to create a son and heir in order to fool Grandpa and inherit his wealth.

Daniella's hard work soon pays off and 'Elroy the third' is crowned a local and beloved hero, but the illusion can last only so long. The happy family picture soon cracks. The cruel and selfish Dupreys continue to neglect Daniella and Grandpa grows so attached to his new 'Grandson' he disowns Daniella completely.

Daniella is left unloved and abandoned, then suddenly events take a turn and Daniella has a remote chance of happiness. The story becomes a murder mystery with a humorous twist; justice will prevail- what goes around, comes around, or does it?
