Only Us

The marriage of Sam, a moody and aggressive idealist, and Hazel, a conventional and pragmatic wife and mother, is an explosive mix. Within its comfortable, middle-class setting, this mixture flares up repeatedly.

Then Sam, with all his emotional energy, espouses the cause of an old lady, Mary Dyer. Hazel, though supportive at first, will not tolerate this, and the couple?s violent separation leads to unforeseeable drama involving Mary.

The dramatic end of his relationship with Mary and the further shock of his redundancy cause Sam to modify his abrasive character and adapt to a different kind of job and lifestyle. Just when family life has become happier than for some years, a harrowing experience for Sam requires the unconditional emotional support of his wife and son.

A story of love, trust, honour and family, Only Us explores the complex dynamics between men and women, and the compromises that must be made to find the right balance.
