In a not so distant future, it almost never stops raining. Set in England, three sisters are forced to confront their mothers’ abandonment, their father’s cruelty, wealth, their queer identities and the effects of climate change. 
This felt like a slow burn, but feels exactly how current events do. It is as though we are nearing oblivion, but still going to work every day.
