Growing older doesn't necessarily mean growing wiser. Gin in one hand paintbrush in the other Franny Calderwood has turned her back on the world or at least the world she used to love. Having lost her husband Frank in tragic circumstances three years earlier 65-year-old Franny copes the only way she knows how: by removing herself completely from the life she had before. Franny lives a life of decadent seclusion with only her two dogs Whisky and Soda a stuffed cat cocktails and the memory of Frank for company. Then the Salernos move in next door. The troubled but charming trio - beleaguered mother Sallyanne angry teenager Dee and eccentric eight-year-old Josh - cannot help but pull Franny into the drama of their lives. But despite her air of independence Franny's wisecracks and foodie obsessions hide considerable trauma and pain and when her eccentric behaviour has life-threatening consequences she faces a reckoning of sorts. Yes Frank is dead but did the woman he loved have to perish with him? A love story about one woman two dogs and the family next door Happy Hour is a hilarious and uplifting insight into grief loss and friendship.
