The Curious Tale of Colin Campbell
28 parts Complete He's an ageless drifter. His best friend makes murder look like an accident. Now a time-travelling cyborg zombie from the future wants to take him home.
Colin Campbell has been alive for hundreds of years - and he's not thrilled about it.
He doesn't know what he is, or why he's still here. He spends most of his time quietly avoiding attention, ordering salt-and-pepper chips from the Chinese chippy in flawless Mandarin - which is weird, because he doesn't speak Mandarin..
Brian, meanwhile, is Colin's best mate. Also a hitman. Also deeply confused. Every target he's been assigned since meeting Colin has died in bizarre, unrelated accidents - pianos, scaffolding, aggressive ducks. Brian still gets paid, but it's starting to mess with his professional pride.
And then Carmen arrives. She's a smart, sassy, time-travelling zombie, and the only person qualified to survive prolonged exposure to Colin's ridiculous existence. She's here to bring him home. Or forward. Or possibly sideways.
Turns out Colin may be the oldest revenant in history - a walking paradox wrapped in centuries of bad habits and pub snacks. The future wants him back. The timeline's falling apart. And reality is doing that wobbly thing again.
