The best laid plans… It wasn’t your plan – get married (after getting a First Class degree), have a bunch of equally clever and accomplished children; it was your parents’ dream for you – but you are more than happy to go along with it since it costs you nothing, feels right to you. What no-one ever told you was that life simply doesn’t work to a blueprint, so when something wholly unexpected happens, something you simply hadn’t factored into your plans you’re left floundering, not sure whether to change the blueprint or completely alter your sense of self.
It doesn’t help that the two guys you’re calling friend are pretty much the source of your new found confusion… Doesn’t help, either, that each, in his own way, is making you call into question everything you thought you believed – about life, about yourself.
