When her mother goes missing somewhere in Ireland, artist Myrid Carten returns from London to find her. Her search takes her into a feuding family, a contested house; and a history that threatens to take everyone down, including herself. A Want In Her is an immersive, first person account of the cost of love, and how difficult it can be to escape.
