Rain lashes against the London townhouse windows, muffling the world outside. Inside, the air is thick with unspoken tension and the scent of stale wine. Samuel Ashford sprawls across an expensive cream sofa, launching Maltesers at his twin, Maxwell, who is drowning in Latin textbooks. The boy’s uniform is a disaster—tie loose, shirt untucked, bruises visible. When his father enters, exhausted and posh, Samuel’s loud defiance clashes with the quiet despair of his mother descending the stairs in his father’s jumper. The scene is a portrait of chaotic wealth, where noise masks the crumbling family dynamic, and Samuel’s reckless energy serves as both shield and weapon.
