A group of young Britons working as translators in Ljubljana spend their evenings in bars with their Slovene colleagues, swapping complaints about work, love and the strangeness of life in Slovenia. Jana wants to get even with a professor who once pursued her, and her English friend Jenny agrees to help set a trap. Alongside their story run two others told from Britain: a young woman remembers her boyfriend Ian, who worked in Slovenia for six months and came home changed, and Jenny's boyfriend Duane recalls a holiday in Scotland with an old friend. Small coincidences begin to tie the expatriates in Ljubljana to Ian, a former colleague nobody has heard from in a while.
