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, her unspoken teenage passion from twenty years ago. Encouraged by Helen, Joanne starts a playful wooing game that reawakens their youthful feelings. As they fall in love and lust, Helen’s zest for life returns, but Joanne faces darker memories from her past. Helen’s world is shattered when Gwen dies, and Joanne’s painful memories cause her to flee. Separated and alone, will both women reflect on their unfulfilled chance to break their barriers and allow love to win?
