It is a collective tale in which we follow the lives of the four leads -John, the father, who has a serious heart condition but risks his life by sticking to his job as a hospital porter; Tom, his son, who is in the process of losing his wife and children because his career as a building contractor overshadows everything else; Eva, the elder daughter, trying to make her way as an artist but "scared shitless" whenever she faces a blank canvas; and Marianne, the younger daughter, who gets a new job running the staff canteen at an accountancy partnership and despite her inexperienced, awkward behaviour initiates an affair with a colleague.
All four try to find themselves and one another, and all four learn that families aren't something you choose, but something you just have .
