Vita Woods is on the brink. She has a good job & a successful doctor boyfriend, Max, with whom the sex is great & the chat sufficient; a vivacious & charming sister Gracie, her verbal sparring partner & best friend for life; & she’s even got a goldfish called Whitney Houston, who brightens her days by showing her she’s not the only one going round in circles. Because it’s the days that are Vita’s problem. Vita is not leaving the house. In fact, Vita rarely exits the basement apartment where she lives, since Vita is in ‘The Pit’ – a place of deep exhaustion & semi-consciousness where she spends much of her time, dead to the world & to herself. She has been sick for months, with an illness that no doctor, not even Max, can medically diagnose. But then, one day, an unexpected courier delivery forces Vita upstairs, into the light & into a chance encounter with her neighbours upstairs.
