Mona lives with her brother, Phil, who used to run a pub before he found God and poured away all the booze. Tamsin is rich, spoilt and trying to live a life of seductive decadence. Mona and Tamsin meet on the moors, above their quiet Yorkshire village and and begin an intense, unlikely friendship. While Tamsin is tragic and fantastical, Mona is rough and witty. Tasmin is quickly charmed and Mona is hooked. Both want to escape their lives but Phil wants to save them, and everybody else. Mona wants the old, dangerous Phil back; the brother that she loved, but Tamsin wants to see what it takes to break him. As the lives of the three characters converge, a sexual struggle between good and evil leads to a dramatic and shocking climax.
