Leanne disintegrates into tears. Then he does it. Sam hugs Leanne. Squeezes his big sister. And she wipes her snot off her hand and onto his waistcoat. That’s my little family.
Five years ago Liv's adult son put the garden chair out for her then disappeared. The family lost a son, brother, nephew, cousin, a grandson. Until one Wednesday afternoon she sees him in traffic.
Someone is lying to her.

A play about trying to stitch together a family that once was.
