Arrogant, middle-aged and angry Alix comes home to Liverpool as her mother lies dying. Resigned to living alone she suddenly finds herself attracted to Joseph, an American architect who has come to the city to build a hotel. He cannot accept that his wife has left him or the trauma of a war he once fought in. Are these survivors meant for each other ? And what happened to a factory in Dresden which long ago made the perfect face cream.

Alix, arrogant, middle-aged and angry comes home to the derelict port of Liverpool as her mother lies dying. Irritably resigned to living alone for the rest of her life, she suddenly finds herself erotically attracted to a stranger. Joseph is an American architect and fellow survivor of the 1970s.
