Nicole is your average 1990s babe: fun-loving, hard-drinking, independent, sassy. She's met Mr Right - her sexy photographer husband, Matt, and they share a cool loft conversion in London's Docklands. Her designs are beginning to sell and, when she's bored with her girlfriends, there's always her psychiatrist to chat to.
Nicole's life is sorted - until she decides to rescue her gran, Liza, from a fate worse than death - an old people's home - and take her to London, installing her on the futon which had previously been reserved for her and Matt's exclusive use. When Matt returns from a photo shoot expecting Nicole's usual enthusiastic welcome - and finds Liza, minus her false teeth but ready and willing - he is less than amused.
And, when Nicole suspects that Matt is having an affair with a page-three model bimbo and her gran appears to prefer the company of twelve-year-old nymphet whom she picks up in the street around Tower Hamlets, things go from bad to worse.
Is this a case of Hell being other people, Nicole wonders? Or is she well on the way to being buried - or married - alive?
