Billy Fisher, a nineteen-year old in a small Yorkshire town, works as an undertaker's clerk. Nagged by his mother and shouted at by his father, he is engaged to two girls but is actually in love with a third.

Feeling trapped by circumstances he cannot control, Billy has daydreams in which he is the hero - rather than victim - of his own life so that his fantasy of becoming a hit comedy writer in London has somehow come true.

But how long can Billy continue to hide from the truth?
