The(ir) Blurb...

Billie Haare (Neenah Dekkers-Reihana), an anxious actress caught between her passion for stage, and her parents' dreams of the silver screens starts a new job at a desolate indoor playground, managed by wannabe-insta-star Cris (Jen Smith). Billie quickly develops feelings for social justice warrior, Zara (Dani Yourukova), who is sadly, 23 and not looking for anything serious. After a passionate moment in the ball pit, Billie and Zara both begin to question what they want. But the playland is soon to be closed - and Billie's anxiety can only handle so much. Cris decides to intervene. Can Billie woo Zara into forever and always? Will anyone end up Happy? Will Cris' trip to Queenstown increase her followers? Only time will tell, in the place where dreams come true, Happy Playland, The Wellington branch.
