Somewhat reserved, 15 year-old Tom is obliged to leave his London environment and join his family in the Devon countryside. His mother is pregnant and his father mistreats her. Tom, his mother, father and 18 year-old sister Jessie live in a small house. One day Tom surprises his father having sex with Jessie.
