After a major disaster at a nuclear power plant, Hazel and Robin, nuclear engineers, have retreated to their remote coastal cottage, seeking to re-establish some kind of normal life. Out of the blue, Rose, a fellow scientist whom they haven’t seen for years, turns up. Has she come to rekindle old relationships or is she hiding some darker motive?

"Sly, gripping, darkly funny...This is sci-fi kitted out with real people, real dilemmas, real scope." --The Times

"Grips compulsively...Genuinely disturbing...Leaves you an abundance of ideas on which to ruminate." --Guardian
