Sammy lives with her parents and three siblings, she often finds herself responsible for her youngest sister: Jess and has to help with family chores. Her dad, a fisherman is always at sea, the peace and ‘normality’ of family life becomes unsettled upon his sudden return due to his drinking and gambling problems.
