Eighteen-year-old Josh’s life is turned upside down when his father, Sam, announces his new whirlwind romance, revealing his plans to move in with his new girlfriend, Juliette, leaving the council estate for her extravagant home. Already strained with his father, Josh feels increasingly alienated. Agreeing to meet at a painfully awkward ‘family’ dinner, he bonds with Juliette’s daughter, Daphne, who shares his resentment toward their parents’ whirlwind romance. Through breaking the fourth wall, Josh navigates his discomfort and honest feelings. When tensions erupt, Josh must make a decision that will reshape his relationship with his father, exploring the tender exploration of belonging, resilience, and the unexpected alliances that form during times of uncertainty.
