A wonderfully funny tale of life lived on the edge - of reason, of failure and of (just possibly) a brighter future. Some people live life in the fast lane. Others have stalled and are waiting for assistance on the side of the road, sustained only by the piece of chewing gum they've just found in the glove compartment. Spencer, Fran and Iris have something in common. Or rather they have something missing in common. Each feels that life if passing them by - Spencer's lost his lover who bequeathed him a list of things to do; Fran shares a run-down house with her oddball brother; whilst Iris spends her time cleaning up after her two teenage sons.
