This bitter old spinster, who teaches at the local in a village not far from London, is regarded as a resentful marm. Life for Charlie becomes unbearable in her new surroundings, except for her friendship with Billy, the boy who is working next door.
But Charlie’s frustration and boredom are relieved by the arrival of a fugitive from justice in the form of Marta, a vulnerable, pregnant and emotionally abused wife, who hides in Sophie’s tool shed and is discovered by Charlie and Billy.

When, after befriending the duo, she makes another run for it, Charlie fears for Marta’s safety and her child’s wellbeing. In a major turn of events and for a number of reasons, unknown to Charlie, Sophie reluctantly agrees to accompany Charlie on a quest to find her and persuade her to do the right thing.

What started as an extremely difficult journey for both Charlie and Sophie became in time more about the inward journey that both of them unconsciously took towards understanding each other and learning to reserve judgement.
