Set in the London suburbs, a story unfolds full of absurdity - philosophizing dogs, drug-dealing cats, turning back of time - and tragedy - adultery, unraveled families, death, and the death of dreams. Poison meant for another is taken mistakenly, and feuding families end their dispute through violence. The fates of five fantastically intertwined families collide, and their inability to communicate brings about an unexpected Shakespearean tragic ending.
