Synopsis

Basil and Beattie are finding the golden years of their lives somewhat tarnished, locked together with only physical infirmity and mental deterioration for company. Their presumably once-sparky relationship has become bitter and fractious. Skeletons rattle in cupboards, and ghosts haunt their heads and their home, while fear of the future, despair with the present and disappointment in the past close in on their diminishing world.
