Last night Paul and Sian called time on their marriage. After dropping their youngest at uni, the thought of sharing a loveless empty nest was just too much. But this morning something else feels wrong. Maybe it's sleeping apart for the first time in twenty-four years. Maybe that second glass of wine hit harder than usual. Maybe this is just what an older body feels like ... Except the mirror above the sink betrays a much stranger truth.
Inexplicably - impossibly - Paul and Sian appear to have switched bodies. And they're desperate to change back. After all it'll be next to impossible to keep this a secret from troubled kids, needy parents, work colleagues and friends, never mind having to wrangle their new body parts...
There's only one solution: this couple on the verge of breaking up are going to have to come back together to sort this out.
