Seven-year-old Emrys lives in Cardiff with his mum, Wendy. Walking to school, Emrys plays his usual imaginative games, but today his mother is a shadow of her usual self. Wendy is entering a severe mental health crisis and, unbeknown to Emrys, has called her mother from Barbados to come and take care of him.

When Betty arrives, Emrys is simply told that his mum ‘needs a break’. But from what and who? Emrys must now navigate a new uncertain world that includes a mother who can’t get out of bed, an unfamiliar culture, and an imagination that sometimes plays tricks on him.
