A heartwarming and heartbreaking tale of love, loss and the chance to put things right
When Georgie turns up at a quiz night in a London café, Peter storms past her without a second glance. Fifty years ago, on their penultimate night at university, she had betrayed him and he has never forgiven her for wrecking their seemingly perfect relationship.
Their life journeys since that fateful night could not be more different. Georgie has had brief success and notoriety with Mothercluckers, an all-female punk band, followed by a life ruined by alcohol and drug addiction. By contrast, Peter’s career as a university library administrator has been fulfilling, stable and successful.
Rachel, the café owner’s daughter, knows all about the Mothercluckers. Obsessed by their wild reputation, she can’t believe her luck when Georgie turns up and she cajoles her father into allowing Georgie to stay in their family home for the night. When Georgie tells her about Peter, Rachel schemes a reconciliation.
Meanwhile Mia, Peter’s new colleague at the university library, is a breath of fresh air who reminds him of the young Georgie. Mia is soon pushing for him to reunite with Georgie.
Can the two young women succeed in getting Georgie and Peter to face up to the incident that tore them apart? The clock is ticking.
