Maggie (Anna Calder-Marshall) and John (Bill Nighy) had a passionate affair in their younger days but it didn't last.
Now in their late sixties a surprise encounter gives them another chance to take up where they left off. Will they manage to find the best in each other and finally get together, or will old wounds and an awareness of their ageing bodies deter them? Will the treadmill created by the high-cost, high pressure 21st century, their endless other commitments and interruptions large and small overwhelm them, or will they take the final risk?
