As Frank’s plan moves up a gear to the next phase of having children, both Jo and Russ are compelled to think hard about their lives and choices. Russ tries hard to accept this and move on with some clumsy attempts to find a new relationship. Jo is becoming more distant with Frank, just as he is looking to get closer. The three circle and orbit each other desperately trying to find ways to make their own move. When Russ finally makes his move, some 6 years late, all three lives are turned upside down as secrets spill out and truths are revealed. There is always a plan...It just isn’t always you making it.
