Set in England in 1977, The Week Elvis Died is an evocative and bittersweet look at life from a child's point of view. Karen (Jennifer Williams) aged 10 is bullied at school by Julie and her gang. Her dysfunctional family can't help her and she doesn't confide in them. All she has for comfort are her descant recorder, her pet rabbit Elvis and her adoration of top disc jockey Tony Blackburn.

Flint is a troubled British male who is a member of the PPA or People's Party Alliance, a far right organization similar in nature to the BNP. Flint is angry and intolerant of most things, but of 'foreigners' in particular. One afternoon, on his way to a PPA meeting, Flint is involved in a serious accident as a result of his speeding. His injuries are severe. Thankfully his life is saved after undergoing a blood transfusion. Flint, grateful to be alive, requests to meet his blood donor in person.
