What to expect
When Connie’s beloved husband, Jack, dies after twenty-seven years of marriage, Connie hopes that her only son, Gary, will console her. Gary, however, finds that level of commitment a bit, well, too much of a commitment. Connie is left with interfering neighbor Val until Gary’s girlfriend Sandra rings with some unexpected news.
This sets Connie on a journey from a village in the Midlands to Hackney and eventually to Ghana as she finds a way to come to terms with her grief and to forge new friendships and a new life.
Starring Maggie Turner, Michael Good, Marishka Tharani, Nic Van Gelder, Ike Ononye, Linda Mathis, Carrie Cohen, and Fran Kirkham
