Grief-stricken, JJ moves into the garden shed and shifts his focus to the upcoming general election. Meanwhile, their 15-year-old daughter, Penny, struggles to uphold normality in the absence of her parents, while contending with an increasingly troubled best-friendship. It's hard to imagine what might reunite them...
