 Elsa, an artist and mother, is struggling to hide her illness from her two sons. When she dies, her boys (Danny 18, Jack 12) survive on their own, not contacting relatives or family friends. The boys find a note from Elsa who has left them money and wants them to stay together. Jack takes solace in his mother s artist-dummy pretending that she is still alive. The boys ignore Social Service s plea for Jack to be fostered. Danny, who works at night at his fledgling career as a DJ, struggles to take responsibility with his 12 year old brother to near fatal consequences.
