Description When life gets too hard for Ally and Petra they decide to go to bed, John and Yoko style - except not 'Peace' - forever.
But something strange is going on in the house, and taking a stand proves harder than they thought. Kate Sheppard won't stop bossing them around, Katherine Mansfield keeps making demands, and Heni Pore is going into labour. As things take a darker turn for Ally, will the women of her world come together or fall apart?
