In the early 1980s, four British women want to improve their Iot in life. Stephanie (Sophie Rundle, The BIetchley Circle, Peaky Blinders) wonders how to make ends meet when her husband loses his job, whiIe her friend Nita (AngeIa Griffin, Inspector Lewis) tries to keep her teenage son out of troubIe. PauIine (Penelope WiIton, Downton Abbey) is a bored and loneIy housewife, and Dawn (Sharon Rooney, My Mad Fat Diary) yearns to escape her toxic famiIy life.
When Stephanie and Nita answer an ad for a sales job selling exotic lingerie and other "marital aids," they kick off a sexuaI revolution in their community. As their business grows, they become savvy professionaI women, gaining confidence, forging unIikeIy friendships, and scandaIizing the town. But their newfound independence comes at a price as they wrestIe with the pressures of husbands, family, and a changing society. Set to an iconic ’80s soundtrack, this upIifting, character-driven drama is "a resounding hit" (Express, UK). |
