Far From Home
Bad love has a way of staying with you forever. Cat, Alex, and Charles are living their lives across Manchester, London, and New York — wanting more, settling for less, and haunted by the people they can't quite leave behind.
Bitter, honest, and unexpectedly funny, Far From Home is a triptych of intimate, interconnected stories about the lies we tell ourselves about love, and the complicated, ordinary mess of modern relationships as we travel from our 20s to later life.
One winter evening, when Cat meets Charles at a hotel in Manchester, it becomes painfully clear that their romance has died.
Charles' wedding anniversary stirs memories of the life he could have had.
As their careers take off, Alex and Cat struggle to hold onto a friendship that is fraying at the edges.
