Their unexpected love affair forces them to grapple with the implications for their vows and their relationship with God. The narrative promises a witty, moving, and contemporary romantic drama filled with heart.
Co-starring are Jason Watkins, Niamh Cusack, Rakie Ayola, David Dawson, and Adrian Scarborough. Early viewer reactions on social media have been overwhelmingly positive, with many hailing the show as a tender, beautifully directed hidden gem featuring top performances.
