'Poignant, funny, stealthily ambitious' THE NEW YORK TIMES

Tightly plotted, slyly caustic and often very funny' DAILY MAIL

Overworked and exhausted, they spend their early morning shifts scheming about their jobs and their futures. Now is their only chance to get their hated line manager Meredith promoted up and away from them. And then one of them can replace her - but who will it be?
