After seeing her daughter Sarah off to Switzerland, widow Ann Prentice finds herself wrestling with a sudden, haunting sense of isolation. Her chance meeting with the formidable Dame Laura Whitstable sparks a deep conversation about the 'second spring' of middle age and the necessity of self-knowledge. As Ann contemplates her future, she must decide if her long-standing friendship with the devoted Colonel James Grant is enough to fill the void, or if she must learn to navigate the world truly alone.
