|summary=Hannah has been friends with Ellen and Barbara for more than twenty years and could never contemplate anyone or anything coming between them. That is until her partner, Ollie, unexpectedly walks out on her and she and Barbara go to visit Ellen and her family in France. Soon tensions are brewing and loyalties are tested to the limit. Will their friendship be strong enough to survive or will it be time to move on?

Hannah, Ellen and Barbara have been friends ever since they shared a house at university. They are now in their late thirties and over the years have always been there for each other. This year though, as both Hannah and Ellen prepare to celebrate their thirty eighth birthdays, they all seem to have a bit more stress in their lives than usual. Hannah’s partner, Ollie, has left her and their seven year old daughter, Cleo; Barbara is preparing to adopt a Russian baby on her own; and Ellen and her husband Mark are struggling to ‘live the dream’ that was theirs when they moved to France a few years earlier. Added to this, when Hannah and Barbara spend a couple of weeks with Ellen and her family, something happens that shocks Hannah. If she tells Ellen, it could wreck their friendship. However, if she keeps quiet, she runs the risk of Ellen finding out anyway which could make things even worse.
