Beth's life, like the unfinished screenplay on her laptop, is stuck between chapters. After her breakup with Fraser - definitely not in the script - she retreats into a lonely working from home routine of sweatpants, erratic hours and comfort eating. Her only constant is her rescue dog, Tomsk. When her house share collapses, an unlikely lifeline appears: Fraser's mother, Martine, who offers Beth and Tomsk a temporary flat above her garage in Longhampton, the place of Beth's happiest memories. It feels like fate - and maybe a second chance with Fraser. But when Beth joins a local retirement project, The Story of Your Life, recording residents' memories, she begins to see her own story more clearly. Then an anonymous tale of first love threatens to upend a family, forcing Beth to ask: is the truth always worth telling?
