is the story of Susan, a Vicar's wife unhappy with her life, who steps on a
garden rake succeeding in whacking herself in the head - and into an imaginary
world where her perfect family exists. As we follow Susan's journey, her real
family and imaginary family become more and more intertwined until reality and
fantasy occupy the same space.</SPAN><SPAN
