She’s spent little time doing anything but training, and when an accident knocks her confidence, she becomes aware just how limiting her life choices look. Answering an ad for a lodger by a cash-strapped couple, Gemma and Kieran, she moves in. The three immediately clock an instant, electric attraction. It makes all of them very excited, but also very nervous.
