The life of Mrs Gemma Jones becomes increasingly complicated as she balances love, affection, sex and motherhood between an ex-husband, an adult son, two young daughters, and two male admirers with a 20-year age gap between them.
Gemma's life involves ferrying her twin daughters around and dealing with her ex, Jason, and his Swedish girlfriend. So when handsome dad Tom asks her out and her son returns from travelling with friend Billy, Gemma unexpectedly finds she has more than one love interest.
It is parents' evening at the school and, try as she might, Gemma is finding it hard to get her mind off Billy and onto Tom. She finds herself in a disastrous teacher's meeting, where Jason's girlfriend takes over, and at a school play where the drama is off stage rather than on.
After forcing Jason to give Alfie a job on the sandwich run, Gemma finds herself at a self-defence class run by Tom. When an inflamed Jason gate-crashes the class he is attacked from all sides, and Billy must decide if he can carry on living under Gemma's roof.
It's Alfie's birthday at the bar and Gemma finds herself encouraging Billy to date another woman. Tom helps Fran pull the man of her dreams and Inca overhears some information that has a disastrous effect on her relationship with Jason.
Tom hosts a dinner for Gemma who shows up with an uninvited guest. Much to the annoyance of a lovelorn Jason, Inca goes on a blind date at the bar where she inadvertently gives Billy some advice about love that forces him to finally confront Gemma.
Gemma organises a barbecue to get Jason and Inca back together. Between trampoline competitions and a surprise visitor, Gemma gets tempting offers from both Tom and Billy. But which one will she choose?
