Publisher's Synopsis
A satirical black comedy set in Edinburgh, Scotland. The antagonist, Stan Lee, a somewhat bored marketing executive, aims to tackle one of the most grueling one day events on planet Earth, the Ironman triathlon.
Stan is arrogant in business with high profile clients, he uses a pilot licence like a bus pass, and refuses to be seen in public without a three-piece suit and a Rolex on his wrist. But can he walk away from a life of womanizing and whisky to mount a serious attempt at triathlon? The story joins him on a rollercoaster journey, not just in swim, bike, run; but in business that turns into a potential political crisis with dodgy deals, brown envelopes, money laundering and espionage, whilst he tries to juggle life work balance on the way to the World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. The last bit of Stan Lees soul faded away with the onset of his father's dementia, and his story is no typical journey as he becomes embroiled in the remarkable, weird and disturbing. This fictional story is a parody of the 2019 professional Ironman season, with innuendo, sex, profanity and toilet humour, whilst touching on some challenging themes such as mental health, alcoholism, drug use, sexual-abuse, politics, discrimination and inequality. All cameos are not endorsed and none of the dialogue, views or actions represent real-life characters or brands in this dark comedy.
