About us
Three women are at a crossroads - can they save their relationships or should they find happiness alone? Alice and Niall - They used to be lovers, best friends and parents, in that order. But they're no longer on the same page about sex and it's killing them... Ann and Ken - Ann thought when she and Ken retired, it would be their second spring. However, instead of feeling desired, she feels abandoned... Orla and Paul - Orla is falling in love with Paul but though she's only twenty-five, she thinks she can't ever be intimate with anyone... Three couples find themselves telling a stranger about the most intimate part of their lives - the hopes, the disappointments, the unspoken expectations, the awkward realisations - and coming to some surprising and life-changing decisions.
