Chocolate Oyster is a satirical examination of the challenges facing two young women, Ella (Anna Lawrence) and Taylor (Rosie Lourde), each running from responsibility as the pursue unobtainable lives promised them by pop-culture. Living in Sydney's affluent eastern suburbs and armed with arts degrees neither Ellie nor Taylor are able to find employment in their prospective fields and are forced to work menial service jobs. Through relationships with Henry (Ryan Harrison), a young playwright, and Craig (Aaron Glenane), a trainee chef, and chance encounters with Stephen Sewell and Ed Gibbs the girls come to learn that they may not be quite as talented and special as they had been led to believe.
