DOES 'FRIENDS' EVER REALLY MEAN JUST 'FRIENDS'?

Gina and Laurence have been the best of friends ever since they were teenagers. Love has never been a factor.
Now, Gina is married to the exquisitely tasteful Fergus and lives in stylish perfection in a huge house; Laurence is married to down-to-earth Hilary and lives in the Bee House, a home and hotel.

When, with elegant disdain, Fergus announces that he is leaving Gina and their teenage daughter, Gina's misery ricochets through the two homes and she turns for emotional support to Laurence, her dearest friend.

And as Laurence gives comfort, so his own marriage and the stability of his children edges towards destruction ...
