In Guy Meredith's romantic comedy, set in Derbyshire, Maggie, part of a father/daughter firm of plumbers, unintentionally attends the wedding reception of her ex-husband, Dennis.

She doesn't think much of his choice of bride, but pretty soon, Maggie herself gets married for the second time, which causes some new and unexpected family relationships to come to light.
