Darkly comic romantic drama following Janet, a foul-mouthed, hilarious, Belfast supermarket worker who couldn't give a shit about anything much at all, including her life, and Seamus a handsome, self-centred, political broadcaster with what looks to be a perfect London life and a celebrity girlfriend.
So when Seamus unexpectedly drops into Janet's world (literally over the wall and into her backyard) they instantly clash - and yet also find themselves inextricably drawn to each other...
Set in Belfast, this is a sexy, funny, fight-y love story about two people who appear to be utterly wrong for each other - yet may just be utterly right.
