Janet Pimm is used to being invisible. 70-something with her beloved allotment for company she simply doesn't need anyone else. But when the local council threatens to close the allotments Janet will do anything she can to try to save them - even enlisting the help of her irritatingly upbeat and interfering neighbour Bev. As the two women set off on a journey together Janet begins to realise that perhaps she isn't so happy to blend into the background after all. And that maybe there's more to Bev than she first thought. As the bulldozers roll in and they fight to save the place Janet loves most both women find their voice again - no one can silence them now . . .
