- Summary:
- Scarlet lives in North London in a working-class neighborhood slowly becoming gentrified. Divorced, but now married to upwardly mobile advertising executive Brian, she spends her time obsessing over the welfare of her daughter Camille and such issues as food irradiation and pollution.
- Deeply unhappy with her family, her life, and her world, Scarlet confides in Constance, her friend and neighbor who runs in dubious circles of borderline criminals. Constance's life is complicated by an on-again, off-again liaison with a Turk named Mehmet. When their neighbor Barbs disappears, both women are forced to reassess their convictions -- and their lives.
