About
Agnes is senile; her granddaughter Jodie is an oddball. But how did they get that way? In a plot that moves between Jodie's life going forwards and Agnes' life going backwards, welcome to the hilarious world of the mad. This is a dark saga of family history and secrets, and a seaside love story of two misfits who find love in a hostile world.
