Pure Series Story
Pure series follows 22-year old Marnie who has no clue about what’s happening with her. For the last 2031 days, she has been assailed by an incessant barrage of graphic x-rated thoughts that intrude, at the most inopportune of moments, on her day to day life.
Is she gay? A sex addict?? A pervert??? Why is she plagued by these mental images and what do they mean?
Now in her final year at university in Scotland, Marnie’s anxiety has reached fever pitch. At breaking point, she packs a bag, jumps on the first available train and, unable to go home, ends up in London. She soon finds out she’s not the only one who’s lost, however, as she meets a host of other characters who alternatively help and hinder her during her unique journey to find her real self.
Unbeknownst to Marnie, she’s actually caught in the grip of an excruciating form of obsessive compulsive disorder – nicknamed ‘pure O’ – where her obsessions take the form of intrusive thoughts, often sexual, and the compulsions are unseen mental rituals that deeply affect her daily life and her relationships.
