✦ Synopsis

When life gives you a second chance
At sixteen years old, Jack Joyce loses her virginity to her brothers charming and charismatic friend, Matt.
She finds the experience an unexpected disappointment and whilst her friends spend their twenties settling in to their careers, Jack spends it partying, desperately trying to recreate the youth she felt she should have had.
More than a decade on living in a tiny flat in Dublin, as a single mother and in a dead-end job she still dreams of Matt, Thin Lizzy and those days of old.
So, bumping into her first love at the point when her future seems its bleakest feels like destiny.
Is this Jacks second chance?
Matt may be married, and have kids, but surely divine intervention must count for something?
If only Jack can shift some weight and stop drinking, who knows what might happen?
When Matt invites her to join an evening class he's teaching, Jacks fantasies soar to new heights.
She soon finds that he has set her on the first step of a journey that will change her life forever.
Only it isnt quite the journey she had in mind
