Summary: Katy lives in Newtown in Wellington, New Zealand. She lives with her parents above the family business, a fish and chip shop. Katy's father came to NZ from Greece and she knows very little about her Greek family -- her father doesn't like to talk about it. He is distant and remote which does not help Katy's struggle with anxiety and compulsive behaviour disorders. She is a cutter, and though she sees a counsellor, this is a dark secret. She starts dating and this increases her anxieties. When they hear her grandmother is ill in Greece and maybe dying, the family decide to go for a visit. This is the chance for her to get some answers about her past. The visit to Greece uncovers some dark family secrets. (Publisher)
