Overview
A tender and funny story about wanting to go back - when you know it''s time to move on.
---------
Theo has been living in his parents'' shed, nursing a broken heart and a wounded ego, convinced life can''t get any worse. Then he gets evicted on his 30th birthday. Theo thinks he''s done with the real world - until it shows up on his doorstep...
Joel is a successful TV scriptwriter, still in love with his teenage sweetheart. A proper grown-up - and yet he''s falling apart at the seams. He''s headed home to reconnect with best friend Theo - except they haven''t spoken since the summer they turned 16.
One of them is keeping a secret, and the other is living a lie. But can the promise they once made to walk all 184 miles of the Thames Path help them find their way back to the truth - and to their friendship?
