When Yvonne loses her job at the age of 64, she starts to fear that husband Neil's devotion to birdwatching is actually all about escaping her and their humdrum life together. Thus begins a somewhat overenthusiastic pursuit of the truth as she trains her binoculars firmly on Neil's every move. Can best friend Wendy bring her back to earth?
