Set in a mining community, the three-act drama follows a miner's wife who contends with a harsh, possessive marriage and the claustrophobic routines of domestic life. Intensely observed household scenes and confrontations with family and neighbours expose sexual tensions, guilt, and competing loyalties. The action moves from quotidian labour and mounting strain to a crisis and its emotional aftermath, exploring how social pressures and inner desires shape decisions, grief, and the possibility of personal transformation.
