The Mulligan is a unique story about a common man. Rich in emotion and filled with unforgettable characters,The Mulligan winds it's way across America's heartland as master storyteller Nathan Jorgenson uses the life of Joe Mix to weave a tapestry colored with laughter, pain, and redemption. 
After investing much of his life in an unhappy marriage and an unfulfilling career, Dr. Joe Mix realizes that he made most of the important decisions of his life in order to please others, not himself. 
When the consequences of his wrong decisions threaten to smother him, Joe Mix finally snaps and decides to forsake all that he has done, and sets out to reclaim the life he feels he should have chosen. 
The ensuing odyssey carries him to his childhood home in South Dakota, a cattle ranch in Montana, and ultimately to the end of the road; the banks of a trout stream. 
We all wonder what our lives could have been, Joe Mix went looking for his life.

With no party having a majority it was decided the position of First Minister should go to neutral, AGSTLO (Ah m Gonnae Sort This Lot Oot party) MSP, Big Nellie Nellis, a controversial imposing lady with the relics of beauty still on her face, unapologetically long legs which look as though they could stretch into different time zones, and bosoms requiring their own postal codes. Her over-bearing appearance and vibrancy, assisted by a continually refilled hip flask of single malt, make her formidable to all and sundry. Forget Mrs Thatcher, Mrs Merkel, Mrs Gillard, Mrs Meir and Ms Sturgeon. These women were absolute softies compared to Big Nellie.

When Big Nellie Nellis bounds into Scottish politics after a fish supper and a cockup too far, her brash reason wins an electorate weary of the pointless jabbering of a divided Parliament. However, shaking up the status quo of Holyrood sets some slippery MSPs delving into Nellie s past to uncover the truth about Scotland s least likely political leader.

Ever Indigo Nikita Stein is quite sure she doesn't belong at the School for Gifted Children of Genius Parents where she's mockingly called "Einstein" by her classmates. After all, her parents disappeared nine years ago and are missing and presumed dead and she has no idea if they were geniuses. She's been leading a lonely life under the care of the Doc, the kind but reclusive inventor of invisible ice cream, where her only friend is a badly-programmed robot fridge with anger issues. Things get worse for Ever when a crow delivers a cryptic message from the future and the Doc, fearing for his life, vanishes through a forbidden door. It turns out that scientists and inventors around the world are under threat - one has met with a terrible fate and another has been kidnapped. Ever must seek the help of an unlikely pair of detectives, Harry Snowize, a former spy, and Snitch, a clever and dignified rat. As the trio embark on a wild adventure across the globe to solve a mystery and save the inventors, Ever comes to realize that perhaps she’s not so inadequate after all.
