After the death of her partner, Olive is at a loose end and spends her time being vaguely entertained at the dreaded ‘classes’ she has been advised will keep her occupied until her grieving period is over. But is it grief she feels? In fact, does she feel anything, even for Zak, her current lover? Did she ever really feel anything? Haunted by unanswerable questions, Olive is unexpectedly called to the bedside of Johnny, her ex-tutor, who is slowly dying in the company of strangers. Olive settles in Johnny’s isolated farmhouse to ride out the snowstorm that cuts her off from the rest of the world, only to be confronted by her odd and disquieting imagination.
