For the past seven years, Clare has been living in London. She works for a judge on child protection cases. Her partner, Miriam, is devoted to raising their young son, Rupert – their days are dominated by nap times, laundry and hiding from each other.
When Clare returns to Melbourne to visit her ailing father, another family crisis looms – her brother Max's long-term drug addiction. She turns her efforts towards helping Max into rehab, but is this at the expense of her family back in London?
Moving, heartbreaking and devastatingly insightful, Together We Fall Apart is a story about running away and coming home.
