A hilariously laugh out loud, romantic comedy, perfect for fans of Something to Live For (Richard Roper), Love, Unscripted (Owen Nicholls), The Love Square (Laura Jane Williams), and Us (David Nicholls).
Out-of-work actor Harriet is recuperating from a crash-and-burn affair with Damian - aka 'Cockweasel' - and making ends meet as a barista when she meets two rather lovely men. Tom is a regular at the cafe, and seems like such a nice guy. Smooth-talking DJ Richard is older, but in great shape - a real silver fox.
Deciding to take a chance on both of them, Harriet doesn't realise at first that she is actually dating father and son. Tom and Richard aren't on speaking terms, and don't share a last name - so how was she to know? By the time everyone finds out, both Tom and Richard are truly madly deeply in love with Harriet, and she's faced with an impossible choice.
But as the battle for her affections intensifies, 'Cockweasel' makes an unexpected reappearance and begs her to give him another chance...
