Synopsis[]

Stella Morris is a struggling mother of three living in the Welsh town of Pontyberry, earning a living doing the washing and ironing for the locals.

Her eldest, Luke, is serving an 18-month prison term for car theft; daughter, Emma, completely besotted with boyfriend, Sunil, wants to leave school before doing her exams; and youngest, Ben, is working on his family tree, which will bring back a familiar face from Stella’s past and send shockwaves through the valley.

Also along for the bumpy ride are Stella’s best friend, Paula, a functioning alcoholic funeral director and married to Stella’s older brother, Dai, an ex-serviceman injured on duty; Stella’s dim, but well meaning ex-husband, Karl, who is now with the 28-year-old Nadine; and lollipop man and youth rugby coach, Alan, an old school friend of Stella’s who has been in love with her since 1984.
