Description The story of a string quartet on tour through the West Coast. They blow the myth of the classical musician preferring a cuppa and a digestive biscuit before an early night right out of the water; painting the (truer) picture off a bunch of maladjusted overachievers caught sup in doomed affairs and unhealthy obsessions.
