Sarah, who has lived an easy-going, privileged life with her husband and teenage daughter in a wealthy part of the city, is torn abruptly from her twenty-five-year marriage when her husband falls for his deputy manager. Insisting on being independent, Sarah moves to a small bungalow in a modest suburb, an environment characterized by garden gnomes and lively gossip. Her priorities are now to earn her own money, regain her self-esteem and form a new circle of friends. Her presence soon changes the social geometry of the street as new friendships and enmities sprout. When Sarah becomes close to a taxi driver fifteen years her junior, her life takes a new turn.
