Synopsis/Details
FAY and JACK (both in their 70s) lead isolated lives on a desolate and unproductive farm. JACK spends his time complaining while watching his wife, FAY, clean the house. Their farm is in dire condition from drought and it has become a forlorn place. Fay informs Jack that her sister, Mary, is coming to visit but this unsettles Jack as it is apparent that he and Mary have unfinished business from year before. At the dinner table, Mary expresses her dislike for Jack and a full-blown family feud takes place while family secrets are brought to the fore.
