The girl in the centre is dreamy Lily whose latest failed love affair forms the purpose of the weekend as Lily's friends set out to help her ensnare an unwitting father for her unborn child. Next to her is Norman a Marxist romantic hell - bent on seducing his milk - white hostess; behind them is old persecuted Shebah; and slightly apart the young man on whom all hopes are pinned: quiet pleasant Edward.
