Description
Three women, from very different backgrounds, are brought together by an advertisement in an international newspaper for female crew members. All three are victims of disillusionment, unhappy marriages and difficult childhoods. They are on a mission to find love, happiness and peace.HELEN: was a member of London's complacent chattering classes, until her marriage became a trap. Now, alone with her teenaged son Toby, she lives on the fringes, belonging nowhere.
MARCIA: is descended from Africans who came as slaves to Bristol. Mature but cynical, hardened by the irresponsibility of the men in her life, she befriends Helen while her streetwise son, Cricket, takes Toby under his wing.
ELLIOT: is blonde, beautiful and Texan - a poor little rich girl who has seen and done it all, but still has an empty place in her soul.
