Kath, a shy young woman, befriends Bob, the reclusive gardener at a seaside hotel where she's getting married. Kath has never come to terms with her mother leaving home when she was eight and that her overbearing father, Ken, never talks about her. Now she is getting married to escape, only to discover that her fiancée, Steve, is completely dominated by Ken as well. Bob is a gentle, eccentric man with a dry sense of humour and a troubled past. Kath sparks a connection to an unresolved relationship from Bob's past with a girl called Louise which resonates so strongly that he feels compelled to leave the safety of the hotel and confront his past. At the same time Kath realises her marriage is a terrible mistake. With the wedding reception in full swing she escapes in her father's car, accidentally abducting Bob in the process. Together they embark on an emotionally charged journey full of darkly comic twists. (Cinemax)

Given that this road movie takes place in an English small town in the country, it’s rather boring. The creators had the good idea to cast a certain English actress and the elegant theatre actor Greg Wise, but the overall result is rather bland. You won’t find any dry traditionally British standoffish humor there. The only thing left are the shots of English countryside, which is unfortunately not enough.
