On a night out, three best friends — SYDNEY, BOWIE & DOM — leave teenage hood behind when they dare to enter The Adult Store. But what happens when you stumble upon the last thing you expected to find: your Prince Charming, your Ex, or that your Doppelgänger is a Porn Star? Against the backdrop of this unfamiliar terrain, their internal struggles reveal themselves to be far more confronting than their surroundings.
’The Adult Store’ is a provocative, cathartic, intimate triptych on this tumultuous age, the meaning of friendship and the power of vulnerability.

"Meet Dylan: Painfully average is how Dylan would describe herself. But one thing she wouldn’t describe as average is her love life.
By the age of 20 most people have had their first kiss right? They’ve been in at least one relationship? They’ve had someone show interest in them… right? Excited by the promise of an exciting early adulthood, but let down by reality, Dylan finds herself feeling a little lost. It’s hard when it feels like everyone around you is living life the right way. But it would be nice if Dylan could realise that maybe there is no right way."
