At their 5 year reunion, four queer friends break into their school's old boat shed.
Back in their rowing days, Fern had a hidden relationship with her coach, who they discover is still working at the school despite being reported...
Since school, the ex-team has drifted. Fern's moved home to care for her belligerent, dying father; Zara tends mannequins part-time, managing her ME/CFS; Poli is an upcoming enby fashion designer cum performance artist and Holly is an LGBTQIA+ lobbyist and secret-Tory voter.
The Dusk Before rejoices in gloriously messy friendships and re-found queer love.
