An old woman in her 70s picks up a young man (late 20s / early 30s) on the steps of a food bank. They exchange some food as they size each other up. She invites him home for tea and he accepts; both cross a safe boundary line. Over tea, then sherry, and then Bingo, they have a wide-ranging, revealing conversation. She is not what she seems--rather, she's a bag-lady with an education and a past. He is a drop-out with an education and no future. They attack each other's values and she plays mind-games with his head. A strange attraction, almost sexual, escalates and she raises the stakes. It's not tea and sympathy; it's tea and terror.
