"Climate is what you expect and weather is what you get."
Janet is a TV weather presenter. Sometimes she'll admit to liking the adrenalin and modest celebrity of the nightly news. Other times she wonders if her job justifies the time away from family - after all, she's hardly curing cancer.
But now the weather seems to be invading her home. Her young son, Harry, is increasingly terrified by storms and endlessly distracted at school and her husband complains that their marriage is slowly drying up. Like the content of her forecasts, Janet's life feels beyond her control.
An acclaimed sculptor and father of Janet's oldest friend, Roy is working on the biggest commission of his life. When he feels the first splinterings of dementia he knows the creation will be his last. After almost fifty years of devoted marriage, Beth can't bear to witness his deterioration. Is Roy producing a masterpiece or monstrosity?
