Set in present day industrial North Wales, Helen spends her nights packing chickens and her days caring for a dying mother-figure Gwen.

Helen’s world takes an unexpected turn with the return of Joanne, other’s unspoken teenage passions twenty years ago. One night, encouraged by Helen, Joanne starts a playful wooing game that re-awakens their youthful feelings. As they fall in love and lust, Helen’s zest for life returns but Joanne feels the walls closing in as she faces something much darker from her past, and Helen’s painful memories cause her to flee.
