It is the summer solstice, but in a faded Scottish cabin park the rain is unrelenting. Twelve families look on as the skies remain resolutely grey.
But there is one particular family, a mother and daughter, with the wrong clothes and the wrong manners. They start to draw the attention of the others. Who are they? Where are they from?
Tensions are rising, something is unravelling, and as darkness finally falls, a match is lit . . .
