Sinopsis:

Julie is about thirty, and trapped in a body made useless by cerebral palsy but she wants to be 'normal', to be considered for her mind rather than be dismissed for her body.  Madelaine is Julia's primary carer.  She also has problems of her own - trapped in a vicious cycle of feeling inadequate unless she has a boyfriend, any boyfriend.  Madelaine yearns for power in her relationships but the only powers she has are those she exerts over the almost completely helpless Julia.  Julia and Madelaine exist in a mutually hateful but interdependent relationship, punctured by incidents of both spite and affection.  There seems no way out for either of them, no future.  When a man called Eddie walks into both of their lives, a power struggle ensues with major consequences.
