Laurence recounts to his neighbour how his life long friendship with Frank and Daniel has been overturned in just three days by their each independently meeting, and falling for, Martha, who has no idea of their connection. Slowly the tale unfolds, the narrative moving backwards and forwards gradually filling in the gaps until we see the whole picture. 从事艺术创作、空闲时兼教欧巴桑打桥牌的罗伦斯，找楼下的心理医生大吐死党情谊近日遭受考验。 原来三天前，在唱片公司担任高阶主管的丹尼尔自美出差返英时，遇到辞掉工作、决心在伦敦重新展开人生的玛莎，并在飞机降落前爱上她。隔天玛莎认识了有舞台恐惧症的演员法兰克。他不停叨念自己缺乏信心、永远失业的惨状，还以为找到知音，没想到她竟然在城市的另一头遇见罗伦斯。 认出重燃人生希望的奇女子，罗伦斯没有表明身分，只能跟着为玛莎倾倒……三个好友爱上同个女子，最后芳心谁属？
