Synopsis

A new beginning.
An unexpected second chance.

On the eve of retirement, a woman discovers that her husband has been having an affair with her best friend. With her carefully ordered life in pieces, she moves in with her free-spirited sister on an inner-city council estate. Worlds apart in outlook and lifestyle, the sisters face an unlikely reunion — and the possibility that starting again could be the best thing that ever happened to her.
