Description Four mature widowed women are living in units in the same retirement village. They have become friends and meet once a week for coffee. Kate is 'normal, Siobhan is a 'social butterfly', Ruby has her late husband's ashes with her in a carry bag and Jean knows little of the real world, having been locked away for 20 years. These mismatched widows share their secrets, sorrows and sins - helping one another to face the future. Then a new widow arrives. She is different, mysterious and striking - and has a secret or two! She is also on a mission that could destroy the merry band. Will it??
