Description Self-absorbed, slightly oddball, burdened with tales of a troubled childhood and various neuroses, lonely ex-banker Kemp uproots his life to care for his estranged aunt, Grace, as she sees out her final days. The problem? What was meant to be a three-day vigil stretches out over weeks and months. 'If you don't die soon, I think it's going to kill me'.
