| When Roz's silent, compulsive husband refused
to discuss his problem, when her children seemed embroiled in
their own lives, Roz felt unloved, not needed. She did the unthinkable
- walked out. She didn't know she wouldn't be allowed back.
That her children would not understand, would not forgive her.
She had one moment of joy, shutting the door, leaving, followed
by ten years of guilt.
Then the death of the children's grandmother, Nan, reunites
Roz, now with a career, a flat, a lover, with her family.
Histrionic Zoe and laid-back Jamie arrive on her doorstep.
Suddenly, Roz is a mother again. A human soup is stirred and
dark family secrets are revealed. But as bickering turns to
banter, Roz realises that her children have returned to her
so that, in the proper scheme of things, they can leave her.
Rather than she leaving them.
