Ally is a teacher stuck in a dead-end job and a relationship that’s going nowhere. She envies her friend Meg who seems to have it all – a great job, doting husband and gorgeous baby son. When Ally’s grandfather dies she returns to her Southern Highland childhood home where she must confront painful issues from her past. Meanwhile Meg isn’t as happy as Ally imagines.
