Jackson’s Journey is an irreverent, endearing and hope-filled New Scotland comedy-adventure!
Join Edinburgher Jackson Campbell in an independent Scotland in 2035 as he fails to fledge from his unionist parent’s luxurious nest and doubles down on dysfunctional co-dependency as his social media brand.
When the New Scottish Government launch another initiative to further democratise Highland ownership, Jackson’s commentary whips him into a live-streamed adventure with the über-Green First Minister and the New Scottish Broadcasting Corporation. But what his collaborators don’t know is Jackson’s hiding a lie; a lie the Make England Great Again campaign would relish using to undermine everything New Scotland stands for.
As Jackson travels from Holyrood to the tiny Isle of Eigg, his popularity grows. Unexpectedly, his conscience does too. But when the road ahead runs out and the truth won’t give Jackson any peace, which will come first; a small, sparkling nation or a huge, privileged and fragile ego?
