Plot summary
Jay is a failed musician who abandoned his wife and family after she lost interest in him. He now works as head bartender in a London pub and lives alone in a decrepit house. Every Wednesday afternoon a woman comes to him for intense, almost wordless sex. He does not know her name. At first the meetings are purely physical, but Jay develops an emotional attachment to her. He wants to know more about her, so he follows her through the streets of London. At work, Jay is annoyed when a junior barman, Ian, is hired without his input, though he later mentors Ian.
