A rough, short-tempered patriarch of a working-class family sees his life and the relationships around him slowly unravel.

Raymond, his wife Val, and her brother Billy live in a working-class London district. Also in their family is Val and Billy's mother Janet and grandmother Kath. Billy is a drug addict and Raymond kicks him out of the house, making him live on his own. Raymond is generally rough, even violent, and that leads to problems in the family's life.—Gustaf Molin <[email protected]>
