Zero Hours follows the fragmented intersecting stories of a range of characters on zero-hour contracts in Glasgow. A cleaner runs her daughter a bath in an unused guestroom, a waiter witnesses a violent crime, a virtual receptionist takes bookings for a burned down hotel, a server at a football stadium defies gravity, and a chef realises that his migrant colleagues have been invited to a "staff meeting" without him. The form of these stories, sketches and scenes reflects the fragmented nature of precarious contracts.
