Disgraced journalist JAYNE seeks to re-establish herself in London through the support of her attention-seeking daughter ROBIN, after being served with divorce papers from her husband. While Jayne - an inveterate liar with a personality disorder - attempts to force her once-obliging husband to take on the substantial debt she has accrued during their year of separation, Robin begins to see the social contracts underlying her family relationships for what they are.
