The show follows the lives of 30-something couples Adam and Rachel, Pete and Jenny, and David and Karen as they navigate love and life in Manchester.

At times comedic and at other times heartbreaking, the series follows the intertwining lives of three Manchester couples at different relationship stages. At the start, Adam Williams and Rachel Bradley are a new couple. Adam's best friend Pete Gifford and his wife Jenny are adjusting to life as new parents, and Rachel's friends Karen and David Marsden fear the possible disintegration of their marriage. The later series picks up their stories over a decade later.—L. Hamre
