Claustrophobic and shattering, this is the story of one ordinary woman unable to save a teenager in her care. It is the story of Stella. Stella is a friend’s nineteen-year-old daughter who has come to live with Anna and her family. Unloved and neglected, Stella’s presence disturbs the already tense and tumultuous household. She lodges uncomfortably in their lives, whilst Anna struggles to bring warmth and welcome to the home. Her son continues to be gloomy and her daughter oblivious. Meanwhile Richard, Anna’s adulterous husband, pretends not to notice Stella at all.
