Bad Hugh

Swept in by a snowstorm, found nearly frozen, a young lady and her child have travelled far to land on Hugh's doorstep. Hugh's mother and family are wary. What is this woman to them? What is Hugh to her? And what to make of her child and the wedding band shining so boldly from her finger? These questions are only the tip of the iceberg in this intergenerational family drama.
