Casting aside anxiety and self-doubt, with the support of her arty best friend and practical ex-husband, Lindy uses her windfall to stage a show at the local Fimbria Festival. Will fresh exploits and colourful new companions prop up Lindy's mental health? Or will her haunted past upstage her theatrical ambitions? Whatever the finale, Lindy's bold adventure is bound to have a dramatic effect on her future happiness...
