Description
Retirement and a new family home bring challenges for John Stevens, a workaholic who's spent years at the top. His wife Sally plans to continue working as a GP for another five years, leaving him to adjust to being her partner at home. As he navigates this change, his life is thrown into turmoil just weeks after leaving his job. His weaknesses as a parent are exposed, family tensions rise, and questions about his marriage are raised. John's struggles to cope with the loss of control and identity that comes with retirement are compounded by unsettling revelations about his own parenting and relationship. As he faces these challenges, John is forced to confront the reality of his life being "always about him and his job".
