In Helensburgh, Scotland, barbed wire fence separates an idyllic coastal town from the site of its largest employer: Faselane nuclear base. Evan grew up inside, a base kid, while Helen protested at the gates. Years later, under the same roof, they are unable to shut out a savage moment from their past. In this sly, candid play Harrower teases his characters out of their corners and what might have been a chance encounter proves a defining moment.
