Three characters fight to make sense of a surreal and collapsing world in this darkly comic mystery.
Clair wants to be kissed, but not now and certainly not by her husband. Chris wants to celebrate his new job by driving into the oncoming traffic. Jenny arrives to complain about the screaming children, but the garden is empty, and the key to the playroom has disappeared. Just what strange game is being played here?
