'The most decisive actions of our life are, more often than not, unconsidered.' (Andre Gide) When Sophia runs into old flame turned psychotherapist Jez, and her husband George absent-mindedly begins an affair with a free-spirited colleague, neither notice that their student son Gabe, tormented by a dim memory, is plagued by increasingly dark thoughts.... Meanwhile, George's friend Brendan, leader of the local council, is prepared to use the travellers on Heronmarsh Common as pawns in his pursuit of the dazzling Amelia, a game that stirs up prejudice that threatens to spiral out of control.... Actions have consequences that all concerned inevitably have to face.
