Neville Watkin's life is hardly going to plan. His wife leaves him, he loses his job and a car accident lands him in hospital. With everything that once seemed familiar falling apart, Neville finds himself facing the uncomfortable prospect of starting his life again.

Then Laura enters the picture. The feisty woman involved in the accident befriends Neville and decides that his life could use a serious overhaul. As she sets about dragging him out of his comfort zone, her equally spirited mother, Caroline, takes an unexpectedly keen interest in him.

For perhaps the first time in years, Neville has opportunities worth pursuing. But after a lifetime of avoiding disruption and keeping the peace, can this quiet and self-effacing man find the courage to embrace a new beginning?
