La gente no sabe qué hacer con Susan Green. Su familia y amigos la ven irritable y difícil de entender, pero para ella todo tiene sentido. A los cuarenta y cinco años, piensa que su vida es perfecta. Tiene un piso en Londres ideal para una persona, un trabajo estable que se adapta a su pasión por la lógica y un "amigo" que le proporciona beneficios culturales y otros más íntimos.

For Susan Green, messy emotions don’t fit into the equation of her perfectly ordered life. She has a flat that is ideal for one, a job that suits her passion for logic, and an “interpersonal arrangement” that provides cultural and other more intimate benefits. But suddenly confronted with the loss of her mother and the news that she is about to become a mother herself, Susan’s greatest fear is realized. She is losing control.

People aren't sure what to make of Susan Green - family and colleagues find her prickly and hard to understand, but Susan makes perfect sense to herself, and that's all she needs. At 45, she thinks her life is perfect, as long as she avoids her feckless brother, Edward - a safe distance away in Birmingham. Yet suddenly faced with the loss of her mother and, implausibly, with the possibility of becoming a mother herself, Susan's greatest fear is being realised: she is losing control.

Quando a mãe de Susan morre e ela descobre que está grávida sem nunca ter cogitado a maternidade, o pior acontece. Susan começa a perder o controle. Para desequilibrar de vez a equação, o testamento diz que a casa da família deve ser de seu irmão irresponsável, e, certa de que a mãe foi manipulada, ela decide levar o caso à justiça. No entanto, conforme o mundo organizado de Susan vai se desfazendo, um aliado improvável lhe mostra que, para abraçar essa nova vida, talvez seja preciso relaxar um pouco.
