Louisa and Kip, happily married for nearly forty years, have raised their children and are now just settling into a new phase of life where theyll have more time for themselves. Everything seems perfect. But then, one Boxing Day after a lovely family Christmas, Kip tells Louisa that their marriage is over.

Its not something Louisa saw coming. And what he tells her next is even more unexpected: hes fallen in love with their sons ex-girlfriend, Zoe, the woman who broke Angus heart.
