Janet, a foul-mouthed Belfast supermarket worker, encounters Seamus in unusual circumstances in her garden. Unlike her, he lives a London life, works as a political broadcaster, and has a celebrity girlfriend. Despite the apparent gulf in experiences between them, the two find themselves unexpectedly falling for each other. As this extraordinary relationship develops, they must each contend with a range of difficulties that stem from the extreme differences in their backgrounds and life experiences.
