Hildy Good has reached that dangerous time in a woman´s life - middle-aged and divorced, she is an oddity in her small but privileged town. But Hildy isn´t one for self-pity and instead meets the world with a wry smile, a dark wit and a glass or two of Pinot Noir. When her two earnest grown-up children stage an ´intervention´ and pack Hildy off to an addiction centre, she thinks all this fuss is ridiculous. After all, why shouldn´t she enjoy a drink now and then?

But we start to see another side to Hildy Good, and to her life´s greatest passion. Soon, a cluster of secrets become dangerously entwined, with devastating consequences...
