Angela Quinn is a mother of three trapped in a stale marriage to the dull Arthur. To add a bit of spice to her dreary life, she has a fling with a neighbour based on a shared love of sex and Mars bars. But, in a dramatic shift in tone, a tragedy forces everyone to look closely at their lives and to come to terms with guilt and remorse.
