Written and directed by May Miles Thomas, Solid Air centers around Robert Houston (Brian McCardie), whose life has been turned upside down in his pursuit of his father's (Maurice Roeves) case for financial compensation from the corporation responsible for giving him asbestosis. Rather than doing all of this out of love, however, Robert is putting himself out there because he himself is knee-deep in gambling debts. Complicating issues further is Nicola (Kathy Kiera Clarke), the lawyer on the corporation's side of the case. Nicola has no intention of marring her own record, for a good cause or otherwise, and soon falls into a conflict with Robert that goes much further than unjust corporate policies.
