Ronda is a dreamer. But can she learn to conquer the the real world

Forty-year-old Ronda McCann lives a quiet, careful life, with her widowed mother, Annie, after a failed relationship. She cycles to her job in a nursing home where, while she might not feel like shes much good at living life, she is good at helping people at the end of theirs. And Ronda has a rich fantasy life. In her imagination she is as brave, assertive, respected and admired as her sister Margo, a relentlessly successful working mother.

As the residents at her care home feel the squeeze from privatization and her friend Fatima comes under threat of deportation, Rondas dreams are starting to feel more and more distant but perhaps, just possibly, there is a version of her that can step into being the person she is inside her head.

Sitting in a car for her first driving lesson with her sister, facing her worst fears, Ronda will discover what shes made of in real life. And the world might just discover what Ronda's version of life has to offer too
