Over Christmas dinner Sue and Eddie gossip and discuss the good
times they used to have together before their son left home, leaving a
void in their lives. But then Eddie disappears with the dog and their
neighbour’s son comes round to liven things up and stay the night.
Through the creation of a seemingly banal universe, Butler creates an
intense atmosphere of guilt and suspicion within this couple’s world.
