What sort of a household can three lost souls create? Janet, a sharp-tongued sceptic washed up from the 70s; Ray, a moth-eaten, haunted fundamentalist; and Maxine, driven, shameless, ecstatic about auras and angels - in Janet's run-down house they slug it out, blundering across each other's secret pasts. Until Maxine, in her hilarious innocence, bursts the barricade between dream and reality, and blasts a path into the future.
