In Fair, Melanie meets Railton upside-down on the Revolution ride. A spin on the waltzer, some chips and a spliff, and it goes off like fireworks . . . until she discovers his politics, and the relationship implodes. Felt Effects unearths the seismic relationship between two half-sisters and their mother when they are forced together in the A&E ward of a hospital.
