When Mary thinks about her marriage, she doesn't know when it changed, she didn't catch sight of it as it happened. What she does know is that there are fewer and fewer days when she wants to touch Sean, to feel the shape of him inside the curved palm of her hand, and more days when he is just in the way. Did it happen sometime between Sydney's first breath and her first birthday? And now that Jack has been born, will she further disappear into the thick, close world of her children and her best friend Juliet?
'What Falls Away' explores relationships that have begun to fail through lack of attention, and despite the existence of love.
