    Four o'clock flowers is a moving, very topical story that explores the aftermath of a knife crime, and the impact it has on two mothers affected by it. Set over twenty four hours, Maya  arrives at the shrine of a teenage boy who has lost his life, and she decides to stay there to honour him for twenty four hours. Anna, who lives in the flats directly next to the shrine, is intrigued why Maya is there, and despite her initial  hesitancy to engage, cannot help but become involved in finding out why she is there and why they are destined  to meet.
