Ginny goes to the house of her older lover, Phillip, in order to end the relationship and retrieve some compromising letters. Matters are complicated when her boyfriend, Greg, turns up and meets Sheila, Phillip’s wife, believing her to be Ginny’s mother. Confusion ensues as the characters become more and more tangled in their attempts to hide the truth about who they are and their unspoken relationships to each other.
