Joanna is approaching the end of her forties and the empty nest syndrome looms. She consoles herself with gin & chocolate, realising that apart from raising her son Jack, she has achieved absolutely nothing.
Somewhat on the plus side of plump and barely five feet tall, she finds it difficult not to envy her younger, prettier sister - such elevated elegance seems so unfair. It takes an embarrassing but hilarious encounter in the supermarket to make her realise what she's been missing.
Life is never dull, laughter never far away - can Janna finally learn to love herself at last?
