After thirteen years living abroad, it's time to come home to Birmingham and catch up with his six old school mates, including his ex, Ginny. Ginny is also at a crossroads, having decided to give up on IVF after several failed attempts. Newly single, she is looking up old boyfriends on Facebook but after a nostalgic night out with the gang, she and Matt spend the night together. Matt is hopeful that they can take up where they left off but Ginny is firm that they should stay just good friends ...until she finds she is pregnant. Over the next twelve months, Matt and Ginny always seem out of step: one ready for commitment, the other having doubts. Looks like turning forty doesn't make those life decisions any easier ...
