Austin on ABC and ABC iview S1E6 – When Julian (Ben Miller) is unceremoniously let go by his publishing agent of 25 years, he discovers 100,000 of their latest books are to be turned into pulp.
When Austin (Michael Theo) is told this, he convinces Julian that the written word, and his artistic endeavours, must be saved at all cost. This leads them on a buddy heist to retrieve the Big Bear books from the warehouse.
Across town Ingrid (Sally Phillips) has an important session with her new “creative collaborator” AKA ghost writer, Tobias. But Tobias’s creative ideas have a very familiar narrative storyline to other well-known works of fiction.
Called mid-way by a somewhat puzzling message from Austin, Ingrid takes her leave and escapes to the book storage warehouse where she finally convinces Austin and Julian that they are family.
