Five people.

Five secrets.

Each needing healing, support and acceptance. 

Derek's life has changed suddenly. His wife of the past few decades has left him, unable to live with his secret anymore. Inspired by a TV show, he decides to start a dinner club to make new friends, the kind that might accept him if he can be brave enough to tell them the truth. 

Eddie is grieving, a widower, struggling as a single parent. The void in his life slowly destroying him and his relationship with his young daughter. 

Florence, supported by her carer Jessie, craves one more adventure to round off the last 80 odd years. 

Violet needs a focus, a new identity, until she has the confidence to escape her grim reality with abusive husband, Ben. 

Cara is lost, with nowhere to call home and no one to go home to, now she's aged out of the care system. 

Will this mishmash group fill each other's souls as well as their plates?
