‘Scattered’ is a 38-part, 1-minute episode series following three best friends, Jules, Sami and Bo, the day after their friend Wil’s funeral. They wake up with brutal hangovers and one less person, Will. . . Well, his ashes, that is.
The series follows the friends as they retrace their steps to find his ashes and give him the send-off he deserves.
