A warm, character-driven romantic comedy about love, commitment, and family in working-class England, balancing genuine affection with the complications that arise when the past intrudes.

Dek, a decent but somewhat dull man, enjoys a happy existence with beloved girlfriend Shirley. They live together with her 12-year-old, Marlene: her daughter by the delinquent Jimmy, who flew the coop years ago and hasn't been heard from since. Dek loves Shirley so much that he proposes to her on national television.
