action
The high school graduates from the 1996 high school year come to Kate and Daniel's 20-year class reunion , who make cider together and have always organized their year reunions. Sandra is coming there for the first time after breaking up and quitting her job with her married boss, with whom she had an affair. Early on she meets Luke, a former school friend. The two used to be in love without knowing the other. The two drive together to the class reunion and pose as a couple to avoid uncomfortable questions.
Luke and Daniel both received a threatening letter from a person who referred to himself as Robin Hood in the letter . Someone found out that the two of them played the lottery with money from the class fund and that the winnings of 30,000 pounds were not shared among everyone, but only among themselves. Soon a trail leads to the branch manager of the local bank, who is in financial difficulties and with whom they can reach an agreement that is acceptable to all concerned.
Daniel and Kate want to finally get married after more than twenty years. But then Kate's conscience comes in. She doesn't want to go into marriage with a lie and tell him that he is not the birth father of her nineteen-year-old son Paul, which she never had the heart to tell him. The father is Luke, who is shocked to note the news. Daniel is very angry at first, but the two friends quickly find each other again and Luke is the photographer at the wedding.
Sandra's mother, Mary, has been examined for frequent headaches. She has an aneurysm in her brain that would be at high risk for surgical removal. She soon reveals this message to her daughter. Mary is friends with Kate and after a conversation she also thinks that Sandra is with Luke. So the pretended love affair continues and actually develops into a real one in the course of the plot. Mary has an operation despite the risk.
Four months later, Sandra visits her mother again and learns that her mother's surgery and rehab went perfectly. At the same time she tells her mother that she is pregnant by Luke and that she has secretly fulfilled her great desire to have grandchildren.
