Three women, a promise – and a year that changes everything…

Cash-starved, hungover, lard-arsed January is the graveyard of good intentions, but this commitment – made on a snowy New Year’s Day after the first sea-swim of the year – is a pledge worth keeping. But will promises be enough, as secrets unfurl…?

LILY (28) – has been sacked from her ‘perfect job’. Can she – should she? – rescue her career? Also, why is her grandmother, MARGOT, setting her up with randoms when romance is the last thing on her mind?
JILL (50) – married her first boyfriend thirty years ago. Now her oldest child LILY is an adult and her youngest is off to Uni…who has she become? And has she left it too late to close the chasm in her marriage?
MARGOT (75) –is gloomily contemplating old age, but – when illness floors her– it turns out life is precious after all. Staring down death, MARGOT realises it’s time to come clean…

Can three strong women really find a new way to live, in just one year? Or – as a devastating secret comes to light – will Christmas mark the destruction of family bonds, leaving them all at sea..?
