A comedy drama about three couples: Adam Williams (James Nesbitt) and Rachel Bradley (Helen Baxendale); Pete Gifford (John Thomson) and his wife Jenny (Fay Ripley); David Marsden (Robert Bathurst) and his wife Karen (Hermione Norris).
Adam and Rachel meet and, after many ups and downs, seem to be building a happy, lasting relationship. Fate, however, intervenes to spoil Adam's happiness.
David and Karen are both tempted into extra-marital relationships. Eventually, they decide to go their separate ways.
Pete and Jenny also separate and are eventually divorced. Pete later remarries, but his second marriage is very short-lived.
