There's Nat failed dramatist and reluctant lecturer falling for a younger woman; Anthea an eco-friendly lost soul obesessed with foxes; Libby hardworking mother and advertising executive; Harry Nat's friend and ex-pupil a journalist on a local paper with a guilty secret of his own; and Jack Nat's unexpectedly poignant uncle who lives for fox-hunting.
