A day in the life of Tom, a bored mid-fifties arts administrator, suddenly energised by the prospect of meeting his ex-fiancée, Fiona, for the first time in over thirty years. The dilemma is that Tom is married but enticed by the wealth of possibilities seeing Fiona might bring. The planned meeting causes him to reflect on the painful manner in which the couple first separated years earlier, and the many years in-between in which Tom had never entirely forgotten or got over Fiona despite the significant women who came after her and the career and life choices he made. When he finally gets to meet Fiona in a bar they used to frequent as a couple, the meeting doesn't go entirely how he might have expected.
