Kelly O'Mara, a 28-year-old junior doctor, is relentless in her pursuit of excellence. She will sacrifice friendships, a social life and romance to be the best. But her constant self-imposed pressure is like a stick of dynamite, ready to explode at the smallest spark.
Finn Walsh is a successful actor, but behind the showbiz smile he's battling anxiety, self-loathing and a sense of impending doom. Finn struggles to hold back the darkness of everyday life away from the camera.
Kelly and Finn have been inseparable since childhood; two souls who share a deep, powerful bond. They've always been each other's safe place. But now, the crushing weight of their own fears and expectations creates a rift in their relationship that sends them both into a toxic spiral. Can they succeed in the world without each other's support Or will they realise that to sacrifice everything is the only way they will both survive
Anxious Hearts is an enthralling and warm-hearted exploration of love, mental health and the impossible standards we can set for ourselves.
