When grieving widow Cat reluctantly joins her sister on a trip back to their childhood town in rural Scotland, long-buried memories begin to surface. As the sisters explore the haunting ruins of the old coal mines and windswept coastal lagoons, the raw beauty of the landscape contrasts sharply with revelations from their troubled past. Flashbacks reveal their tense relationship with their emotionally unstable mother as well as a closer bond with a kindly neighbour. Cat struggles to come to terms with her all-consuming grief in the wake of her partner's sudden death. Meanwhile, Milly harbours darker childhood secrets that still torment her. Though the journey is painful, the sisters slowly reconnect, unearthing truths about each other and finding solace in the enduring cycle of nature and community. This poignant and lyrical audio play grapples with themes of death, sexual trauma, mental illness and the complex bond between siblings.
