It is 1962. In the greater scheme of life, Natalie is meant to meet Simon, marry him and have a happily ever after. The problem is Simon has attempted to commit suicide and Natalie has lost her trust in men after leaving a bruising relationship.. So there seems little chance that they will ever meet. The Great Plan is that Jack will help find a way for his two friends to be together. But how will the Elders' plan come together? Simon must learn not to throw his life away, and Natalie needs to regain her trust in men and find love once more, instead of ending her life with regret. And Jack needs to mend the cracks he left behind him many centuries ago. The 1960s was a time when women were still referred to as "ladies", ladies who, generally, managed to be married by the time they were twenty one, and their young husbands not much older. It was a time of promise, the Second World War far enough away to be referred to without anguish, a time when the ambition of a man was to provide for his wife and his family, to own his own home and to work towards a well-deserved retirement. Marriages were for life, it was always hoped. But times were changing, which Natalie would find out when her marriage to Simon begins to fall apart. But then Jack has always kept in touch.
