Lorna struggles in the claustrophobic loneliness of her home; she's still angry at her ex-husband, uncomfortable around her father's new girlfriend and finds it difficult to talk to her sons. Life seems precariously balanced. Then a shocking event occurs at the boys' school and her world threatens to implode.
