It’s present day in industrial North Wales. Helen, late 30’s, spends her nights packing chickens and her days caring for a dying mother-figure Gwen. 

She lives in a small room in the house her clingy ex- husband shares with his dim-witted girlfriend and their new baby. Helen’s world takes an unexpected turn with the return of Joanne. 

They were the objects of the other’s unspoken teenage passions twenty years ago. Separated and alone, will both women reflect on their unfulfilled chance to break their barriers and allow love to win?
