Officers pull over a suspended driver who has a box of bourbon beside him during a routine traffic stop. A late‑night takeaway run then takes a turn for the worse. Meanwhile, a gymnastics coach finds himself stretched thin by competing demands.

Bourbon Blues is a television programme presented as a single episode. It falls within the episode‑type format, offering a snapshot of several intertwined stories that unfold over the course of its runtime. The episode opens with police officers pulling over a driver whose licence has been suspended. The officer’s attention is drawn to a box of bourbon sitting beside the driver, adding a layer of tension to the routine stop. This encounter sets the tone for a night where ordinary activities quickly become complicated. Later, a seemingly simple late‑night takeaway run goes awry. What begins as a quick food purchase spirals into a problematic situation, highlighting how small decisions can take an unexpected turn. In a parallel thread, a gymnastics coach finds himself stretched thin, juggling the demands of his profession and personal commitments, which further underscores the theme of overextension. Together, these three strands— the traffic stop, the botched takeaway, and the overburdened coach—converge to paint a picture of a night where routine tasks become anything but ordinary. The episode weaves these moments into a concise narrative that reflects the challenges faced when everyday plans go off course.
