May is a middle-aged grandmother who lives in Northern England with her husband, Toots. When Toots dies while the couple is visiting their children in London, May begins to feel a sense of isolation and falls into a deep depression. Needing something new and vital to cling to, May takes refuge in the arms of Darren, a burly handyman who is not only half her age and married, but also sleeping with her daughter, Paula.
