Overview
This is the inspiring story of a life lived outside the rules for women. It is an unflinchingly honest portrayal of a woman's journey beyond marriage, career and a nice house in the country.

Lisa's life is high-glamour and high-octane, publishing bestselling books and walking the red-carpet at movie premieres.

She begins to rely on alcohol to get her through it all and embarks on an illicit affair. Lisa leaves her husband, hoping to find absolution and happiness in a new relationship, but the world of dating for a 43-year-old is not what she expects. She discovers sun, sea, sand and sex on the beaches of the world, but the younger men she encounters can't offer her anything more than a holiday romance and heartbreak. Then, in a small seaside village in Goa, Lisa discovers discovers yoga and a sober, spiritual life. She meets a tribe of inspirational women who show her a new path to freedom and independence, leading to self-forgiveness and breaking the lock on a secret she's been carrying inside her since she was a little girl. When The Most Handsome Man in Goa walks into her life, Lisa must decide if her new-found solo freedom is more important than having a man by her side.
