Four women (in their late thirties) meet up at a 20 years on high school reunion, all either childless, divorced or never married and going through something of a turning point in their lives.
Ringleader Karla (Sonia Todd) is determined that the four of them (the girls had been thick as thieves at high school but had drifted apart somewhat in subsequent years) should have babies, regardless of the fact that they don’t have partners, two of the four Louise (Anne Looby) and Sue (Sally Cooper) agree, only Dianne (Laverne McDonnell) doesn’t feel the need to have a baby.
This is the lynchpin on which the serial hangs but it is so much more than that as the women learn about themselves, find lost loves and realise what is important in their lives.
