Stressful lives, making changes, fresh starts. This is a story of two very different women, who forge an unlikely friendship. Charlotte is a young lawyer living in London, with the world at her feet. She has a luxury flat, a sports car and plenty of money, yet she is unhappy and the job that she used to love now gives her panic attacks. On the advice of her doctor, she takes some time off work to de-stress and hires a cottage in Northumberland. But will the lack of wi-fi and London conveniences cause her even more stress? Linda is a middle-aged woman who has never had a career and lives under the control of her violent and abusive husband. When her husband goes missing, an over-zealous police officer begins to suspect that she is hiding something. When the two women cross paths, they help each other in a way that neither of them would have predicted.
