      After the death of their daughter Melanie, David and Judith struggle with their loss. David finds solace in a colleague whose daughter reminds him of his own; while Judith is reacquainted with an old neighbour who''s experienced his own tragedy. Are they destined to drift further apart, or can there be a future together after Melanie?

      Can they start again, or will they lose one another forever?

      David and Judith''s fragile marriage is threatened by the sudden death of their beloved thirteen-year-old daughter, Melanie. As they struggle to cope with their loss, they confront bewildering challenges. But instead of turning to each other, they find comfort with others.

      David is drawn to Nancy, a colleague and single mother, and a survivor of her own personal tragedy, while Judith grows close to Jeffrey, a recently widowed physician whom she meets through her volunteer work at a thrift shop, itself the scene of multiple daily dramas. As their grief drives them further apart, does their future lie together ''after Melanie'', or are they destined to lose one another for ever?
