Work It Out is a short drama film dealing with depression, work place bullying and thoughts of ending it all.

Struan works in an office of a building firm. A sensitive soul he is surrounded by toxic male builder. Men that have worked in the building industry all their lives and view the world through men’s eyes, and he hates it.
​
But he’s stuck in a life where he has to provide for his new family. At home is his new wife expecting their new baby.

So he’s dealing with having to listen to misogynistic, homophobic and racist behaviour. He also deals with language from one particular person: his boss, John Perry, who is a bully. He bullies everyone in the office. He also picks his fights. He tries to align himself with certain people when it suits him.

As Struan is in charge of the accounts, and the fact that John has no idea about finances or what’s going on, he relies on Struan to keep him up to date with simple data. But at the same time he insults Struan at every opportunity.

The company's boss turns up to audit their accounts. Money is missing, John has 5 days to produce the answer. He pressures Struan to fudge the books to keep the big boss satisfied till he is able to raise the money (through gambling) and put the money back. Either Struan helps or John will make sure it looks like Struan has stolen the money. Will Struan do the right thing?
