Glenn Wilder-Bingham has built a life around restraint and control. When Rosie Kitto, a thirty-eight-year-old primary school teacher from England, arrives carrying a hidden sorrow, she disrupts the balance of the household. As the Wilder-Bingham family begins to come apart, events build towards an explosive turning point, and a question emerges about what follows a lifetime of saying no.
