Trudy has betrayed her husband, John. She`s still in the marital home – a dilapidated, priceless London townhouse – but not with John. Instead, she`s with his brother, the profoundly banal Claude, and the two of them have a plan. But there is a witness to their plot: the inquisitive, nine-month-old resident of Trudy`s womb.
