At a rustic Scottish resort where an assortment of families are spending a summer vacation, the incessant rain has kept everyone mostly cooped up inside, and each chapter offers a stream-of-consciousness perspective on events from a different vacationer. We follow everyone from small children to frustrated teenagers to parents and partners as they cook, play, have sex, and venture outside for a jog or a paddle on a kayak. They observe and comment on their own family dynamics and notice others at the resort, sometimes critically. The subject of almost universal derision is a Ukrainian family who keep everyone else awake with their nightly loud parties. Despite the boredom and frustration, coupled with a lack of WiFi, it rarely occurs to anyone to reach out and connect outside their family circle until a tragic event at the end.
