Grace, Nadia and Mr Williams see each other at work every day. But it will take a crisis for them to finally reveal the truth about themselves.
Grace is 40 and in love with David. Her life is about to fall apart in the most shocking of ways.
Nadia is 17 and furious. She knows that love will only let her down: if she is going to succeed it will be on her own terms.
Maurice Williams is 86. He has discovered a lot about love in his long life, and even more about people. And yet he keeps secrets.
Sometimes you have to hit the bottom in order to find a way back. And sometimes you need a friend, or two, by your side when you triumph.
