Donald is a forty-something aspiring drag queen with a lifetime of bitterness hiding behind his nail polish. He's not been back to his northern home-town since his father kicked him out after catching him wearing his dead mother's clothes. But his past is about to catch up with him, when his strange, beautiful younger brother arrives on his doorstep. Will Owen’s unexpected presence pull him out of his depression? Or is he destined to drag his little brother down with him?

The debut novel by actor Russell Tovey, Starlings features a multi-cast, led by Andrew Scott as Donald and George MacKay as Owen.

Also featuring Jason Patel, Julian Kostov, Michele Austin, and Russell Tovey.

Available in Dolby Atmos.
