Synopsis:

William Shawcross is looking for love but few women are excited at the prospect of dating an undertaker. Taking matters into his own hands, he registers with a dating agency and things start to look up when he is captivated by Mary, an attractive, divorced mother of two. Only she's too busy bringing people into the world as a midwife to date someone whose job is to see them out.
