Under normal circumstances, Izzie and Maddy would never have met. Their lives are a million miles apart - Izzie is bohemian and skint, Maddy is Gucci-clad and loaded. But, thanks to their respective husbands' careers, both have been dumped into the English countryside, fish out of water with five young children between them. Thrown together at a ghastly women's lunch, they quickly discover a shared longing for mucky London streets and the residents' parking permits they've left behind. When tragedy hits and Maddy's world collapses, they have to make money fast. A chance discovery leads this unlikely partnership to launch a natural cosmetics company from the kitchen table, with consequences beyond their wildest imaginings. Then the media spotlight turns on them, and Maddy and Izzie have to give up all they hold dear to embrace a lifestyle they hate. But just how far are they prepared to go?

Two women become unexpected friends when they (unwillingly) move to the countryside, leaving London and city life behind. The results are quite something. . .

Izzie and Maddy would never normally have met - one bohemian and free thinking, the other materialistic and designer obsessed - weren't it for their respective husband's careers. Dumped in the countryside, both feeling like a fish out of water, their world's collide at an event. Here, they discover a mutually deep appreciation for life in London - and an equally deep hatred for women's lunches.

Soon, tragedy strikes, and Maddy has to find a way to make money fast. Together, they launch a company from their kitchen which proves to be more successful than they ever could have imagined. But when the media spotlight turns on them, the pair are forced to walk away from all they hold dear and embrace a lifestyle they hate. The question is - how far will they be willing to go?
