Synopsis:

Meet Sara - a veterinarian so skilled she can spay a tortoise one-handed. She's successful, she's p popular - there's just one chink in her armour: she's too scared to tell her parents she's gay. So, on the evening of her 40th birthday, Sara's friends come up with an ultimatum: either she tells her parents the truth when they come to visit in six weeks' time, or they will. To help Sara achieve this goal, they buy a series of sessions with Toria, the eccentric and mildly-qualified lifestyle coach-cum-therapist. And so the countdown to the big reveal begins...
