What happens after Happy Ever After?

After thirty-four years of marriage, Julie and Michael's grand romance has . . . fizzled. More like housemates than husband and wife, Julie wonders whether it's time to give up on their love story, once and for all.

A lockdown - just the two of them - seems like it might be the final straw.

But, when stripped of all distraction and forced to meet eyes across the dinner table every night, unexpected sparks begin to fly . . .

Can Julie and Michael ever find a way back to who they used to be?

Or could this be the start of a whole new love story?
