STONE is the story of Adam, a third year Kingston University student, who is infamous among his peers for having the craziest nights out, most debauched stories and banter of anyone on campus. But when he is unceremoniously blown off by his friends before a night out, Adam goes on a full tilt hedonistic rampage, doing what he wants, with whoever he wants, cruelly aware that the world he is master of is quickly coming to an end. Yet Adam's actions are far reaching, affecting everyone he comes into contact. By the end of this night, how much damage will he have inflicted on everyone and himself. Adam is about to learn that no one is made of STONE.
