Laurence J Benbo is a thirty seven year old graphic artist and
Dublin bachelor, awkward with women and lonely after the breakup
with his girlfriend Deborah. He meets Jadwiga, a lapdancer and,
after winning a lottery, he bestows gifts on her. But his upwardly
mobile brother Maoiliosa and his scheming wife Ena, on hearing of
his win, try to blackmail the innocent Laurence into handing his
money over to them by alleging that he interfered with their
daughter Lydia. Laurence seeks out Jadwiga for advice in her
lapdancing club. To his dismay, he sees her going into a room with
Maoiliosa. He spends the night awake listening to the rain
pattering at his window, thinking of Deborah and he imagines little
Lydia coming to seek out her uncle Lar to finish the story he had
started reading to her. As the rain gets heavier he knows there is
going to be a storm.
