Synopsis

When Sarah breaks her leg, her only thought is how on earth she'll get to the south of France for her beloved son's wedding. She's been told not to fly, and the train route involves many changes - not ideal when you can barely walk. There's only one person she can turn to. Her son's father, Hal. The pair were teenage sweethearts when Sarah fell pregnant, and he's always been in his son's life. Only his parenting style is more 'fun uncle' than serious dad; all the 'proper parenting' has been left to Sarah. He's oblivious. She's furious. But she's out of options. And Hal is happy to drive her, with one proviso: they're taking the scenic route, in his battered VW camper van. Now, two people - whose lives have only been intertwined through their child for more than twenty years - are about to find out there is far more of a journey ahead for them than either could possibly anticipate...
