A chamber drama about emotional entanglement and unrequited desire set in a country house, exploring the gap between what people feel and what they can express.

After a suicide attempt, Lane has moved into her country house to recuperate. Her best friend, Stephanie, has come to join her for the summer. Lane's mother, Diane, has recently arrived with her husband Lloyd, Lane's stepfather. Lane is close to two neighbors: Peter, and Howard.
