Introduction

Therapist Linda feels overwhelmed with the pressures of everyday life, particularly as she struggles to navigate her child’s mysterious illness with a singular lack of support from her absent husband. On the edge of exhaustion, she tries to stay afloat with the help of her hostile therapist and her new neighbour, in this unflinching and caustrophobic, yet deeply affecting and darkly funny drama.
