Teddy, a British college professor, and his American wife, Ruth, make a surprise visit to his bleak childhood flat in north London. His widowed father, Max an ex-butcher, presides over his three sons with a malicious iron hand. Max reveres and reviles the memory of his wife Jessica. Ruth is seen as a replacement and becomes the object of each family member’s desire. In the end, the family convinces Teddy to return to his three sons in America so that Ruth can remain enthroned in his father’s household.
