THE STORY
After losing her husband and best friend of 50 years, newly widowed Jane has lost the eccentric spark that once defined her personality. Whilst sitting alone in the village cafe, she notices a young woman who has been stood up on a date. Jane ends up embarking on a haphazard journey with Jessie, a clumsy, hopeless romantic after she makes it her mission to find Jessie a boyfriend.
As the pair realise they are each other's only 'single' friends, they slowly develop their own deep connection and understanding of one another.
