With his girlfriend temporarily gone, Veterinarian Thomas Carmichael is like catnip to ambitious single women in town. He's hoping that by ignoring them, they'll all just go away. The last thing he needs is for Vickie to get the wrong impression and be permanently gone. Victoria Wood has returned to London to complete a work contract after a leave of absence. It's only eight months' after all and then she'll be back in Thomas's arms. It all seems straight forward, until her ex wants back on the scene. ​ Distance, miscommunication and lies, muddy the waters of their fledgling relationship before it truly starts; and when it does... is it already too late?
