Edward is a gay Irish novelist whose career and love life have stalled due to the demands of caring for his ailing mother Alma. He’s kept sane by a group of friends in similar situations. That is until those friends spontaneously decide to make a break for a Pride festival in the Canaries, leaving their mothers on Edward and Alma’s doorstep. Suddenly, an already stressed Edward has not one but four very different older women to look after - and he’s soon pushed to breaking point.
