From the back of the book: 'When the luminous stranger arrives on the farm, twelve year old Stella is convinced that Jerry has come to heal her family.

Now she tells 'terrible trouble' to a tabloid journalist in an effort to save the little that is left.

The stage contains a metal wash tub, a traumatised child and a hard-hearted journalist. The script veers between love and violence, shining a naked bulb on psychosis and the preposterous ways in which people express their shame.
