Upon the death of her mother, Agatha Bodenham finds herself alone for the first time in her life. Solitary and socially awkward by nature, she starts to dream about her imaginary childhood friend - the only friend she ever had. Much to her surprise, Clarissa starts to appear, fleetingly at first, and engage with her, and eventually becomes visible to everyone else. Agatha, 32 years old and with no partner, must explain the childs 'sudden' appearance. In a moment of panic, she pretends that Clarissa is her own daughter, her love child.
