Description

When actress Jodi returns to Ireland to raise her son, she's determined to shield him from the media. Even if coming home means leaving her husband - and waking old ghosts. Meanwhile, Francine takes pride in juggling her children, her home and her high-powered career. But behind closed doors, Francine's life is crumbling around her. As Jodi struggles to keep her secrets to herself, and Francine comes to terms with some life-changing news, the two become unlikely friends. They discover that there's no such thing as the perfect wife, or the perfect life – sometimes it's better to be happy than to be perfect.
