Synopsis

Greer’s weird. Everyone in the village thinks so. Isolated and ostracised, she lives in a ramshackle farm-house with her mentally-ill father, Ivan. When Greer meets an exotic young couple in the care home where she works, she takes them home but her half-formed hopes of a brighter, more colourful future are soon destroyed.
