✦ Synopsis

Westway Private is not a place that Raymond Dubois cares to remember. The rundown neighbourhood was the size of a postage stamp with too many small rental homes crammed together, the lawns were mostly dirt, everyone heard everyone's business, and his sister almost died there.

The only good thing about Westway Private was Dorothy Nightingale. But she moved away when he was thirteen and he hasn't seen her since.

Now retired, Raymond just wants to live his remaining years in peace. But when a young couple move in next door, he quickly notices that something isn't quite right with the husband. The guy drives a BMW, wears expensive suits, but there's something behind the façade that awakens a past Raymond tried hard to forget.

Dorothy Nightingale just signed her divorce papers, she's selling the family home, and her kids opted to live with Dad. All her life, Dorothy made sure she was the perfect mom; she wasn't going to make the same mistakes her mother made.

Except that she did.

Dorothy needs to fix things with her kids before it's too late . . . but then tragedy strikes and she finds that her future lies in the pain of her past.

The Hope of Times to Come digs into the scars that shaped our childhood to find the strength we never realized we had, and unleashes the truth we must face to set us free.
