Tilly is beautiful, talented and distinctly unique. Burdened by guilt she returns to her hometown to find her mother, Mad Molly, demented. Tilly is an outsider, accused of murder and turned upon by insular locals. Whilst there is pain in the past and Tilly remains accused, the landscape is populated by a host of formidable characters who do the funniest, surprising and sometimes unsavory things; and who elevate reality into a warm-hearted Cohen’esque human comedy. Tilly is a genius with haute couture and armed with fabric and a needle she transforms and liberates the women in the town; and ultimately exacts sweet revenge on those who did her wrong. She falls unexpectedly in love, which also leads her to her greatest loss and most destructive deed.
