At a large house in rural North Yorkshire, three generations of Fentons are gathering, unaware that this will be their last family lunch together.

Jamie, a talented pianist stuck in a dead-end job, is determined to escape his father's disapproval and his mother's smothering attention. His sister Caz, basking in the love of an adoring husband and desperate to be a good mother to her two young daughters, takes her parents' unconditional support for granted.

When tragedy strikes, both Jamie and Caz are thrown into a tailspin of grief from which one of the may never recover.
