She unexpectedly encounters Colin, a lover from her art school days. Soon afterwards, the past turns up again. She is visited by Ben, the estranged son of her best friend, Stella.
The narrative unfolds in the past and the present as Gillian navigates her close relationships and the entangled circumstances of her life, facing both her passions and uncertainties.This is a story of friendship, love and loyalty, loss and resilience that reveals the subtle contradictions of desire and will and of strength and fallibility.
