This is an average story of a very average woman. Of Spud, carer for her father, who cooks, cleans and serves badly and half-heartedly. A woman who is never seen or thanked. Ignored. A woman who, in spite of what society tells her, does not feel bad about herself. Who, despite not being young, or a mother, or, worst of all, beautiful, is actually quite happy in herself, if not her life.

Then, one day, everything changes, and Siobhan - Spud - may have to come out of the shadows and be seen.
