Tansy feels trapped in her marriage to Max, and the looks she receives from parents in the playground suggest she's not doing a great job at being a mother to her two sons either. So Tansy decides to take a trip to India, to visit an old friend and sort her head out. But life is about to get a whole lot more complicated, and as she uncovers a shocking secret she begins to long for the normality of family life.
