Sylvia rattles around in a house she can't bear to sell while Cecily is unhappy where she lives. Surely it makes sense for them to bunk in together again? After all, they did when they were twenty - why not at seventy? So, Cecily takes the plunge, scoops up her cat and moves in. But her heart soon sinks when the flamboyant yet compassionate Sylvia extends the invitation to Samer – a refugee from war-torn Syria and his two motherless boys. Suddenly flung together, is it possible for such a diverse, hotch-potch of people to live harmoniously under one roof? Life isn't always a picnic, as the pain and conflict in Samer's heart often threatens to overwhelm him. What choice should he make to give his boys the life they deserve without hurting their two irreplaceable 'English Mums?'
