Portrait of a contemporary woman living in Dublin. Margaret handles in a very sensitive way- how difficult it is for a mother to grieve the death of a child, even if they are estranged.

The compelling story of a woman who has lost her son, and develops an unorthodox relationship with a homeless youth with whom she unwittingly falls in love, while remaining stuck in the past with an older man. Their tentative trust is threatened by his involvement with a violent gang and the escalation of her ex-husband's grieving rage.
