'Bobby (Teo Gebert), who has absented himself from his job in advertising, starts a voraciously physical but coldly impersonal affair with the manipulative Tia (Olivia Pigeot). Tia, also known as Megan, claims to be a jazz singer married to an airline pilot. They meet in the street after her bag is snatched. Tia’s old friend Phaedra (Susan Prior) is a vulnerable florist in mourning for her drug-addicted former lover. Despite the women’s surface friendliness, they begin a game of vicious one-upmanship into which Bobby is drawn.

'Eventually Tia and Bobby come clean about the personal issues they’ve been trying to hide. All three realise the destructiveness of their behaviour and tentatively look forward to a fresh start.'
