Although this play is set in a guest-house near Culloden in Inverness-shire, its themes are not purely Scottish. It is a play about people: about love and marriage and the problem of compatibility, both intellectual and physical.

When the play opens, it is late autumn, and the Padens' guest-house is about to close for the winter season. Unexpectedly two visitors arrive bringing with them problems of their own-problems which Mary and Charlie Paden cannot ignore....
