Description

1st June 2013.

In north-east Hampshire, England, care-worker-cum-amateur-musical-star Ash is giving the performance of her life. Fifty miles away, cult film star and notorious playboy Joe is getting ready for yet another night on the town, but it’s no ordinary party: this time, he’s going beyond the horizon. Ash ends her night by letting co-star Rich rope her into running a gardening club at the exclusive rehab clinic where he works, while Joe is rushed to hospital, having been found at death’s door by best friend Yoni.

Joe is not at all happy when he wakes up at the clinic, but starts warming to his situation when he spots a quirky but attractive young woman toiling alone in the garden. One fine day he stumbles upon her, and she promptly enlists his help. Over the next two months, a bond forms between the pair as they tend the garden together, but sooner or later Joe’s going to have to go home. Will that be The End for him and Ash?
