Like Love Island without the cash prize, Messy sees Sam, an online sex worker, explore her chaotic relationship with sex, love, and intimacy. From the misogynistic ramblings of the ill-equipped sex-ed teacher at her Methodist school, to the unimpressive men she collected like Pokémon along the way, Messy is an ode to all the disappointing one-night stands, the short-lived shags, the tender moments we share with people who end up disappointing us, and the divas who find themselves thinking “I should quit my job and sell feet pics instead”.
