Cheshire 2019.  Sarah, a Nigerian-British middle-class woman, recently relocated to a quaint village with her family; reeling from a disappointment at work, she is interrupted by her gluten-free-muffins-bearing neighbours who decide to stay for tea.  Polite banter soon takes a very different turn…..
