A darkly comic tale of quiet country life, unexpected parenthood and murder.
In an old Cotswolds village, longtime partners Janet and Susan are known simply as “the girls.” Together, they run a charming shop filled with locally made goods and enjoy a comfortable, settled life.
While Susan is away travelling, Janet meets Alan, a friendly man who helps her at a craft fair. An evening of wine leads to an unexpected night together—and, weeks later, an even more unexpected pregnancy.
Janet and Susan happily welcome a baby boy and settle into family life. But when Alan reappears and wants a place in the child’s life, he threatens the carefully protected world they have created. The girls have no intention of surrendering their happiness—and they are prepared to use whatever means necessary to preserve it.
