the long version

Philip and Sue, in their mid-20s, near the start of their working lives, have moved to Eden Grove, to a two-up-two-down individually designed quality residence in a small town for the circle of a year. Philip is a locum in a nearby GP surgery, and Sue commutes an hour each day to her job in an art gallery. On the surface, their life together is unremarkable, but around them and within them is a kaleidoscope of complex, intersecting worlds. When Philip struggles with his new patients and when Sue decides to curate a new exhibition with a crucial emptiness at its heart, they both find themselves overstepping the boundaries of their professional lives.
