Jules has been divorced from Leon for five yeras, but she still works alongside him at Gunk, the grotty student nightclub he owns in central Brighton. She spends her nights serving shots and watching from behind the bar as Leon flirts with students on the dance floor. In the early hours of the morning, she paces home to sleep. But then Leon hires nineteen-year-old Nim to work the bar with Jules - Nim, with her shaved head and steady pour, her disarming sweetness and sudden distance - and Jules finds herself jolted awake. When Nim discovers she's pregnant, Jules agrees to help. As the months pass, and the relationship between the two women grows increasingly intimate and perplexing, it emerges that Nim has her own unexpected gifts to give. Now, alone in her small flat, Jules is holdinig a baby, just 24-hours old, who still smells of Nim. But no one knows where Nim is, or if she's coming back. What could the future - for Jules, Nim and this unnamed baby - possibly look like?
