Written and created by Hugh Travers (Red Rock), Video Nasty centres on three “mostly-normal-but-kind-of-weird teenagers” - Irish school chums Billy and Con (Cal O’Driscoll) and Con’s older sister, Zoe (Leia Murphy) - who embark on an unauthorised quest to England in order to locate one final VHS needed to complete the boys' coveted collection of ‘video nasties’.

Con and Zoe’s parents Maureen (Valerie O’Connor) and Frank (Declan Rogers) and Billy’s single father dad, Abe (Emmanuel Ighodaro), are soon in hot pursuit when the kids' adventure takes a dark turn and they end up becoming the chief suspects in a high profile murder investigation.
