Introduction

A spring day in a gentrifying neighbourhood begins unremarkably enough; by evening someone has died.

Nat

Nat, a middle-aged queer mother of two, feigns normalcy as she worries about her taciturn, loner son locked in his room.

Maddy

Her friend Maddy, a failed actress and fellow parent, frets over her missed opportunities and considers leaving her marriage.

Ilya

Next door, Ilya, a young construction worker, struggles to renovate a fixer-upper, but a buried stream threatens to flood the basement.

Other Residents

An old woman eyes the street through the gap in her curtains. A lonely man wanders.

Community and Tragedy

As the troubled residents stumble through their errands, navigating the thorniness of class and privilege, of queer respectability and friendship in an overstretched city, each seemingly inconsequential exchange tightens in around the neighbourhood, until finally tragedy strikes, leaving it forever changed.
