This is the story of Roz, who committed the unforgiveable sin (for a woman) of walking out on her children.
Ten years on she is writing a cartoon strip for a magazine, leading a comfortably shambolic life, though completely ostracised by her family.
The death of her 80-year-old mother-in-law sparks a crisis which means her children must try to come to terms with what she did.
