Hollywood movie star Elizabeth (Elizabeth McGovern) and her English book editor husband, Matt (Hugh Bonneville), are a glamorous and successful couple. Or at least they would be, if only either of them could actually get a job. As it is, Elizabeth is completely adrift in London and Matt has just been made redundant. To top it off they're both middle-aged which is nothing short of a deathblow in the ultra-ageist world of showbiz.
Their oldest friend (and Elizabeth's ultra-aggressive agent) Leon Blakely (Tom Hollander), urges Matt and Elizabeth not to lose heart, at the same time as pouring all his efforts into promoting the next It Girl hopeful while only getting Elizabeth bit parts. As they brave the increasingly hostile world around them they realise whatever happens, they've got each other.
