  A night in the '80s. A young city dealer, intoxicated by money and cocaine, leaves a nightclub, driving his motorbike into a brick wall, and oblivion. Thirty miles away, in the heart of suburbia, a mother is wide awake, staring at the night sky - she knows something catastrophic has happened. Sylvia's awful premonition heralds a series of complex odysseys stretching across fifteen years as a family torn apart by grief looks for a way to reunite. Sylvia experiences a spiritual awakening. Alan loses his way, then his job, withdrawing into himself, whilst Samantha makes a fortune on the stock exchange, only to give it all up to save the planet. Milch Cow begs the question; is there still a space to care these days, with no strings attached? Or is everybody milking somebody?
