Ant

Nathan Blakely was a popstar. But he was useless, died, and was reincarnated.

The comedy about Nathan’s adventures in the afterlife continues.

Nathan is brought back to life as queen of a huge Leafcutter Ant colony. The ants need to find food and, because he is utterly selfish, Nathan leads them on a perilous journey to get a bag of his favourite crisps from a nearby hotel.

When will Nathan ever learn to do the right thing?
