Mansell (You and Me, Always) highlights the charm of a village in the Cotswolds and the missed opportunities of love following tragedy. Publicist Mimi Huish travels from her home in London to visit her father, Dan, and his boyfriend, Marcus, who have recently moved to the quiet village of Goosebrook. While walking from the closest train station to Goosebrook, Mimi meets Cal Mathieson and his dog, Otto, who accompany her into the village. Mimi, Dan, and Marcus visit the local pub to meet the villagers, and they become acquainted with Cal, his wife, Stacey, and other Goosebrook neighbors. When tragedy strikes and both Stacey and Dan are killed in a car accident, Mimi tries to console Marcus and Cal. After Mimi takes a new job with novelist CJ Exley and travels to Puerto Pollensa, she stays in touch with Cal, eventually finding an opportunity for them to explore if their mutual friendship could spark romance when Mimi travels back to Goosebrook.
