Mike Brown is not as young as he was - though he's not quite ready to accept it. Fifty eight years old, redundant, and showing all the signs of late middle age, he still manages to deceive himself into believing that he can attract women. But when the husband of his long-term lover Rosie dies and he has to decide what to do next, his answer is escape - a trial separation in a seemingly quiet seaside town. And so begins a very eventful year; a year in which to decide whether he really is grown up enough to face responsblity. A glorious comedy of love, lust, deception and self deception
