One house swap. Two lives turned inside out . . .

Burned out from work, Leena takes a two-month sabbatical, escaping to her grandmother Eileen's house for some overdue rest.

Nearly eighty and newly single, Eileen would like a second chance at love, but her tiny Yorkshire village doesn't offer many eligible gentlemen. A life swap seems the perfect solution.

But with a rabble of unruly OAPs to contend with, as well as the distractingly handsome local schoolteacher, Leena learns that switching lives isn't straightforward. In London, Eileen is a huge hit with her new neighbours and with the online dating scene. But is her perfect match nearer to home than she thought?
