Jason's life is in full flight - he's passed exams, has a developing sex life and is about to buy his first car - when his younger sister starts behaving obsessively about food. The tensions of this and its effects on all the family are thoughtfully woven together, although the neatness of the 'solution' will disappoint those for whom anorexia is more frustratingly inexplicable.
